Kenshin makes me giggle. He keeps surprising me with how smart he is!
In his viv he's got three bowls of different sizes. One for live feeders, one for greens, and a little one for water.
Well when I came home from work yesterday he went over and sat in his greens dish. It had some dried leaves from the morning in it but he just went and layed in the dish and looked at me. He had previously layed in or stood on his insect bowl when he knew we were getting his bugs ready. I followed a hunch and went and got him some fresh greens. Well that's CLEARLY what he wanted. He was eating them before I even got them in the bowl! When he'd had enough he went about his business basking and climbing his tree. Then a bit later he went over to his bug bowl. I gave him some phoenix worms (which he won't eat if he's not really hungry) and he ate them! Then I gave him a wax worm as a thank you for eating the pws.
Later in the evening he went BACK and layed in the greens bowl again. Well his earlier greens had dried out again so I got him more fresh and he attacked it!
He's also very careful to examine what I offer him to eat. He carefully picks around collard greens in his veggies. I tried to trick him into eating more pw's then he wanted to by butting a wax worm in with them to attract his attention. Well he tilted his head and examined them then carefully licked up the wax worm and walked away from the pw's. He's such a BRAT! Oh and don't even TRY to get him to eat silkworms. I think he'd skip meals for a few days and still turn his nose up at them.
I'm getting so much amusement from his sassy little personality. He's just the cutest thing.
I love my Kenshin.

I'm glad I got my roaches from you so I could get my colony going so he can be fat and happy for years to come
