A present for the bearded dragons, of course they destroy it!

 I tried "planting" a couple of lettuce and greens plants with roots in the bearded dragon cage for winter. This one was a big head of lettuce to start. Of course they didn't gently munch leaves off as it continues to grow. They tore that thing out of the soil and ate the lot in a day. Totally messed up their cage too, dirt everywhere. Ah well they had fun. They get to go outside nearly every day from late spring through early fall. Winter is a bit boring for them. These beardies rarely brumate (like hibernation) since we have them in a warm room and they have an open air cage. They engage much more with their world in an open air cage than they ever did in a glass terrarium. So glad we made this switch many years ago now Saphira and Kilgharrah enjoy their lives this way.
