omnivorous?!

[lyricalmiracle]

ok so i know that some veileds eat greens and some leaves etc but my panther seems to like pothos!

i noticed him munch on one of the little root nubs that stick out of the vines once, so i stuck a couple of locusts in and he chowed down so he must have been hungry (not sure why he mistook the root bit for food though) anyway, i thought nothing of it, but i heard a crunch noise today and when i looked there was a pothos leaf on the bottom of the viv, he'd taken a bite out of the stalk of the leaf and, i assume, he swallowed it. he then went back to his normal business of having a stroll before taking a poop, which was slightly wet (a few drips of clear liquid came out with it, otherwise it looked normal with usual white urate)

anybody else noticed their panther eating pothos? there are also some teeth marks in one of the ficus leaves.

i thought maybe he needed more water, but i've been spraying 2-4 times a day, with a dripper running, and he has two water bowls because his breeder had the babies drinking from a bowl but i've only seen him use it a couple of times.

Yes.
In my case, a female nibbles leave from time to time. I leave dandylion and romaine dangling in there from time to time, but she ignores that. She just likes to damage the plants on occasion.

None of my others show any interest in plants.

Mine has eaten green peas once in a while.

I have witnessed my sambava eating the leaves that have fallen off into the pot.
