Hi all, my 4 month old veiled has stopped using his tounge as often when feeding. He used to stand on the branch adjacent to his feeding cup, but now he pretty much climbs all the way in and just picks his food up and the times he does use his tounge, hes like 1cm away. Is this strange behaviour? Or is he just a lazy boy?
Thanks
