I Can't Believe It's Not Molluscs

[den]

I suspected the baby blue-tongue lizard was still living in the garden, bit I had no way of knowing. I asked H. about this, and she suggested I make up the following mix and place it on a flat dish in the garden

1 tblespoon very finely chopped lettuce
1 tblespoon very finely chopped cucumber
1 tblespoon very finely chopped apple
1 tblespoon of mashed banana.

I put it out this morning, and just now I saw Polly run to the opposite side of the yard and start barking at the garden. When I looked I saw a tiny blue-tonue disappearing into an old mouse hole. It looks like the I Can't Believe It's Not Molluscs is a hit with the blue-tongue residents. I hope I don't over-feed him to the point where he stops eating snails.

Apparently this mix is a hit with bearded dragons, too. I wonder if I can attract some into the yard.

feychildthe would like to know if a domestic (pet store bought) bearded dragon could live on this mixture,.. (she's non too fond of the idea of breeding crickets for em)

There's not enough protein in the veggies. You can substitute meal worms for crickets. Meal worms are easier to keep and a farm is easy to prepare. Let me know if you need instructions.

You just throw the worms in with the veg and the dragon will pick up what he wants.
