Spazzy is a 2 year old female veiled ...
If I have hornworms, I usually hand feed them as a bribe (distraction so I can clean her poops/urates and trim pothos lol)
She's always turned her nose up at silkworms (I've never been able to entice her into trying one, have tried multiple times over the past almost 2 years)
Welllll ... I was just mauled by a tiny, angry tree dragon while trying to hang her food cup in her house
Girlie was rather impatient to get her hornworm this morning (I was getting ready to leave the house so I had put the worms in her cup instead of hand feeding them to her, plus it's vitamin day)
She finally tried the silkworm and loved it
*her "attack" on my hand wasn't a "you're in my space and I want you gone" ... it was "oh my gosh you have WORMS!" ... **I do not jump, pull back or flinch if she gets my fingers or hand, I just let her bite until she realizes it's not food she has but my finger/hand, she doesn't bite down hard and it usually only takes one chomp to realize she doesn't have food lol*
Thought I'd share her goofy little self this morning and hopefully make you laugh as hard as I did
