I wouldn't say anything like a ball or anything, but I have noticed the great mood change when Lex is fed locusts. He seems to liven up and calm down, they are a good chase and is excellent exercise for him!

I have not had mine very long but would agree with curty,mine loves locust,and as I try not feed him in his tank he gets to chase them around my room icon_biggrin.gif he loves it and if he is not doing that he likes "hide and go seek" where basically he runs round the house and I have to find him before work icon_lol.gif Does yours have a toy??

This is something I asked myself for very long!

How does a Tegu play? Can someone explain it to me?

Thx! icon_biggrin.gif

Our Leonidas loves my boyfriend's shoes.He goes in there and starts to scratch around.He also likes to go under the blanket,comes back out and does the same thing over and over for a while.He also seems to be very interested in the mulch bags.I brought some home not to long ago and he got on top of it and started to scratch around and he bit the bag a few times.
