    Anole pellets?

    At a festival this weekend a friend of purchased a green anole for her daughter. It was a Medieval Faire and the lizards were marketed as "baby dragons"! Included in the purchase was a small container of what looked like bearded dragon pellets, very colorful and fruity smelling. According to the "caresheet" it was "Zoo Med Anole Food!" I thought it was a put on until I did a search and sure enough there actually is a Zoo Med Anole Pellet diet. Anybody else ever hear of this stuff? I was under the impression that anoles would only eat live insects. Anybody ever seen an anole eat a pellet?

    NO, lol....and if they had them marked as baby dragons you know it had to be "beardy pellets"...as far as i know they only eat bugs and maybe the occasional fruit

    i have heard of it. i saw the same "kit" in myrtle beach, SC last year. I dont see how you can get a sight hunter to eat a prepared diet, they wont even drink from a water bowl, what makes you think that they would be able to eat pellets? yet another rediculous and useless idea thought up by our friends over at zoo-med.

    ...anything to make a buck.

    So were they selling UVB bulbs and handing out caresheets with the 'baby dragons' or are they all doomed?

    Unfortunately no. They were suppling them with a "House" which was a small Critter Keeper with small bright green gravel in the bottom and a peice of a stick also laying in the bottom.
    Too bad I didn't find out about it till afterwards.

    I am currently waiting on a call back from the vendor coordinator of the faire!

    We will see if I can't stop this from happening at next years event!
