Haven't been active in a while but my guys are doing well. I have had for a few years but have never tried feeding any live food before.

Picked up some meal worms today and placed my big guy in the dish with them. Should have seen him grabbing at them. Finally got one and bee lined it for a hide.

Grabbed my smaller guy and put him in the dish too (he's a little shy and stayed in his shell until I walked away. Came back 2 mins later and he had taken one and headed to the same hide as the big guy. Fast forward a couple of more mins and the big guy chased little one out of 'his' hide and forced the little one to use the other hide.

Think I will try some other live protein options now that I have awoke the dragon so to speak lol.

Now that, my friend, made me laugh! Reminds me of my kids fighting over a toy.
