Feeding in the enclosure?

Who does and who doesn't? I like bonding with our arg b&w with food but also some days when things are hectic it would be nice to put a plate of food in the enclosure. Currently I only feed out of the enclosure though. I also thought it would be nice to put a plate of fruit at least in the enclosure as I am trying to keep her eating a good amount of fruit.

What do you guys think and do those of you that feed in the enclosure see any excess food/cage aggression?

Nothing wrong in feeding in enclosure. You can if you want put it in when he's sleeping. Most importantly is risk of impaction depending on substrate type.

My main substrate is just dirt, so that should be fine. There is some hay in a few spots that she likes to burrow in but again shouldn't be an issue with impaction. I used to throw a few super worms in enclosure as treats but felt like she was starting to look at my hand like it was a cheeseburger when I reached in to get her so I cut it out, but she probably would be fine, especially considering how much calmer she is now.
