 Grilled dirt sandwiches?

ok, so, lily isn’t eating because of breeding season. and, her wonderful mommy made her a beautiful lay box. so you know what she’s eating? the dirt! that can’t be good. what could she be missing or craving that dirt would seem like a good substitue for?

she’s getting so tame and sweet; i’m just amazed. i was standing by her cage because she saw my grilled cheese sandwich and was cocking her head and leeeeaaaning toward it. i offered her a bite, and she bit the air all around it first, then finally tried it (by the way, she was just getting the bread--i was peeling the cheese off). she loved it! my formerly (and possibly future) vicious iguana was standing beside me on top of her cage, eating little pieces of grilled cheese w/o cheese sandwich from my hand! how cool!

i was on the phone with annie last night and she says it sounds like some mineral, too (or, she says, lily is just stupid,lol!). i’m giving her some baby food; she’s eating so little maybe she’s just a little nutritionally unbalanced.
