Neeko are you watching stuff on Hulu.com or are you watching the movie
"The Stuff". I'm sure it's just stuff,.. but I had to ask because I thought of the movie and that brought back memories.

@ Spark,.. mine have their own bowls and plates.

After a while they definitely recognize them. I can put my hand in Korbens enclosure and do what ever. But when his bowl is in my hand depending on how hungry he is,.. he comes running.

I tried giving him a rat pup with tongs and he wouldn't take it, so I put it in his bowl and he went right for it.

Figured out quickly to use our plain white dishes for our tegu feeding...if not, he spends all his time licking and poking at the patterns on the plate! Lol. Smart little dude.

I hide food in my lawn and then bring them outside to hang out so they think "Hey look, i just found this" Then just go about they're business roaming foraging and basking in the sun on nice days .And on not so nice days, they get fed in a dog bowl in the hall or kitchen.
The only downside is if you spread the food around too much you tend to forget or they dont get it racoons will be in the yard to clean up. Not a good thing
