Puff ate carrot tops !

Puff was awake very late this Sunday morning,11:30am.It was raining out and I got a late start with the dogs as None of them wanted to go out in the rain.Finally about 11:00am,the sun came peeping out from the clouds.Puff was basking and napping most of the morning so I let him be. I don't like to bother him when he is sleeping.I started watching a movie on TV,but I also fell asleep as the movie was rather boring.There wasn't much on because of the Super Bowl,and I am just not into football.I fed Puff early and offered him some carrot tops.I had to move Puff off of the vibrating dish so I could give him the carrot tops.He really likes that vibrator!Anyway the CTs moved around and to my surprise, Puff went for them.He ate quite a bit. I put some on the slippery dish with the worms and crickets and he ate some more along with 3 worms and 3 crickets.I left him basking on his log. When I turned out the lights for the night,Puff was already asleep.Good night my magnificent Puff,I love you...Puff The Golden Bearded Dragon,to be continued................

"Dancing" Peas are good to eat

Puff was up early today,7:40am.After taking care of the cats and dogs and my self,I sang to Puff and played my flute for him. I took him out and held him for a while.I watched some really dumb movies on TV and Puff watched from his perch on my shoulder. Puff got bored and took a nap while I watched.When you can't see very well it is some times hard to know what is going on.Especially if just music is playing with no dialog.There was not much in the way of entertainment on TV today.I decided to give Puff a bath.I got his bath tub set up and put the warm water in it. I then put Puff in.He relaxed and enjoyed his bath. When the water cooled off, I took him out and dried him with a towel.I fed Puff early.I put the vibrating dish in his tank and turned it on.He immediately got on top of it.I turned it on again and let him have his vibrating massage.I then lifted him off of the dish and added the peas,and turned it on.Puff saw the peas"dancing" and started gobbling them as fast as he could.It was hard to count how many he ate.4 maybe 5 peas.I kept adding more peas and he ate a few more. Then he just watched the "dancing"peas.I guess he had eaten his fill.I offered him some crickets and worms and he did eat them. I left him alone to bask on his log and take a nap.I turned out the lights at 8:00pm and sang Puff to sleep. Good night Puff,I love you.

The Vivicator

Puff was awake late this Friday morning,about 10:15am. He is still digging up his tank.He has holes every where. I went to PetsMart to get Dog and cat food for the month.I also got some stuff for the rats.I finally got this vibrating food dish called a Vivicator, for Puff.It was on sale. I also got his Super worms and crickets.When I returned home,I put the batteries in the dish and used the remote control to see how it worked.I makes the sound of crickets singing. I put it in the tank with Puff and put some peas in the dish.When I pressed the remote and it sounded like crickets,Puff got all wide eyed and came over to see what was up. At first he climbed up on top of the dish and sat on it and the peas.I kept pushing the remote and he just sat there.I guess he liked the feel of the vibrator.I left him alone for a while to see if he would move off of the dish. I checked back and he had moved. He was right next to the dish.I pushed the remote and the peas were jumping all around and suddenly Puff descended on them, gobbling them up as fast as he could!It worked! The dish worked! Puff thought the peas were alive and ate them with no trouble at all.I got my finicky Dragon to eat his peas.There's more than one way to con a lizard!That was money well spent!He ate about 5 or 6 peas,I think. I fed him his worms and crickets and left him alone to bask. When I went to turn out the lights for the night, Puff was already asleep.Good night my finicky Dragon.Now lets see if you will eat beet leafs and carrot tops I got for you tomorrow.

2 crickets escaped

Puff was awake at 8:00am this morning. After I took care of all the other animals and had my own breakfast, I checked on Puff. He has been digging all over his tank again. I took him out of the tank and held him for 2 hours. I watched TV and Puff watched from his perch on my shoulder. He loves to have his chin and beard rubbed.I sang to him when I put him back into his tank. I had to go down town to pay the mortgage and the water bill.When I returned I fed Puff.2 crickets escaped when I was putting them in the shaker. I tried to catch them but there are too many places for them to hide in the fish room.I hope I will not be over run with crickets running loose all over my fish room. There are 5 escapees in that room now. He ate 5 crickets and still no peas.He is shedding around his face. He then climbed up on his log to bask.He was still basking when I turned out the lights for the night. I sang Puff to sleep and said good night to my beautiful Dragon. I love you Puff.

Puff had the day to himself

Puff was awake at 8:00am on Wednesday morning. Not much to tell as it was my money day, Carla took me to the bank and grocery shopping,as it was raining.We also stopped at Animal Control and checked on a Husky that was a stray. Beautiful dog! I hope the owners claim it.I was gone pretty much the entire day. When I did get home and checked on Puff,he was on his basking log.I fed him and he ate 6 crickets,I did not offer the peas this time. I bought some apples and cantaloupe to see if Puff might eat them.I will have to go to the organic market for some other greens as my grocery store does not carry them.Puff was already asleep when I turned out the lights for the night.Good night,my beautiful Puff.

Puff is a smart Dragon

Puff was awake at 7:45am this morning.He has been digging all over his tank.The dirt is in disarray and there are holes every where as well as in the hides.He will dig one hole and move to another area and dig some more.After I fed the animals and my self,I held Puff for a while.When I put him back into the tank,I sang to him and played my flute for him. He really enjoys the flute music.Tomorrow is garbage day so I had to go rake up the yard and put the garbage out. When I came back in the house,I checked on Puff.I found him in a tight spot between the basking log and the Christmas log and the wall of the tank. He was trying to turn around and he couldn't quite do it. I told him that he would have to move forward a few inches and then he might be able to turn around.To my surprise, he did just that!It was like he understood what I said. He probably just figured it out on his own,but he did it right after I said that.Either way, Puff is a very smart Dragon.He spent the rest of the afternoon basking on both of his logs.It was rather late when I fed him.I was waiting for Lost to come on TV.He ate 3 crickets and 1 worm.He refused the peas this time.After I fed him he climbed up on the Christmas log to bask. That is where he fell asleep. I turned out the lights at 7:30pm and said good night to my magnificent Puff. Puff The Golden Bearded Dragon,to be continued..................

Puff gave me the Beardie arm wave !

Puff was awake at 7:00am this morning. After I fed the dogs and cats and my self,I checked on Puff. He was pacing is tank as usual. When I started to sing to him,He climbed up on his basking log,got comfortable and listened to my song. I talked to him,telling him that he is magnificent.He is the most beautiful Dragon in the world.He sits there and looks at me,cocking his head and moving his eyes,like he is taking in every word.I tell him that I love him and he moves towards me,and he does the beardie arm wave!This is the first time I have ever seen him do this! I have seen dragons on YouTube do this, but have never seen Puff do it.He has such a wonderful personality! I really do love this lizard as much as I love my cats and dogs!They are all part of my family.I would be devastated if any thing were to happen to him!I think I will change the subject as I don't want to think about any thing negative here.Any way, I played my flute for Puff and he enjoyed that.Later in the afternoon,I held him for a while.I watched my Soap and Puff watched from his perch on my shoulder.After watching TV for a while,I put Puff back in his tank and started cooking dinner.I fed the dogs at 5:00pm and then ate my dinner. I then fed Puff and he ate 1 pea (hand fed) and then the phone rang. It was Carla.When I hung up the phone,I went back to finish feeding Puff. I put several Peas on the dish with a worm. He ate the worm and then he ate 3 peas from the dish!I usually have to hand feed the peas,but this is the first time he has eaten them from the dish.I put a cricket on the dish and he ate it.This dish is very slippery and the crickets can't walk on it. If they jumped,they could get away but for some reason they don't. This seems to be the best way to feed Puff.I did the same with the other crickets and he ate them all.Altogether,he ate 4 peas,1 worm and 3 crickets.I am so glad he is eating the peas again.I left him alone to bask on his log.I turned out the lights at 8:00pm and sang Puff to sleep.I love you Puff,good night.
