feeding and bath time

[kurojinx]

i know alot of people have different opinions about where to feed their tegu. so currently iv been feeding mine in his cage

(picture from around last week) iv currently put in a board so that his plate wasnt sitting on the woodchips and would have a less likley chance getting woodchips in it.

but i was readin online recently and decided that i would try to switch from feeding inside the cage to out. well he didnt like it. i bought a box for him put the food in, put him in. but he was more concerned with getting out then with his food, iv tried feeding him in the box a few times, but he doesnt like it.iv had him for about 2 or 3 weeks i think, hes never hissed or snapped at me once since i got him. so should i just continue feeding him in his cage or just keep trying to feed him out.

also the little guy seems to hate the bath. he never settles down and just wants out. not sure what to do aout that...

Feeding in the cage is working and harmless as long as no ingesting bark. I would continue. Little guy going to be scared of the bath so sometimes add moist, hand-wrung sphagnum to his hide. Will fight fungus and make for easier shedding. You're doing a good job with you pal.
