A friend of mine had three beardies in a 75 gallon tank, decorated beautifully with driftwood, and a cave
made out of paper mache, with a feeding tray on top. They were full grown so every month or so he
would feed them a pinkie. I was there for the first time and suggested to do it out of the cage as to
not create a mess that would be horrible to clean up. His thinking was, which ever beardie gets the first
he would just take it out of the cage and continue the process. In theory, not a bad idea, but not very
bright either. He put the first pinkie in the cage, and with in seconds all three beardies were latched on,
pulling in different directions. It was NASTY. A huge mess, his mom walked in during the feeding and #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^&
near threw up. He takes great care of them, but that was the last time they got pinkies in the tank, and while
all three of them were present. Blood and guts everywhere. But, they didn't get the pinkie in the sand,
so impaction wasn't a problem. The cave was quite a brilliant idea, because it was very sturdy, and the tray
on top had a good lip on it so, the collards never came in contact with the sand.
