The Coolest Houseguest EVER!

Over Thanksgiving break, we had the opportunity to pet-sit for a friend. Not an ordinary pet.... a Bearded Dragon! How cool is that?

Duke was so much fun to have around. Every morning, we would feed him.

Here's Keeley, making a salad for him!

Luken prepared a bowl of mealworms each morning.

And here's Duke, happily waiting for his room service delivery. :D

It was so fun to watch him eat.

He also gets a fresh batch of live crickets every day! He loves to hunt for them.
The cricket-delivery-system is quite slick - they live in a plastic handled habitat with four tubes inside. Apparently, they like to climb up, but not down. When you slide one of the tubes out and hold it inside Duke's home, you shake the tube, and crickets fall out!
