Salad Poop

WHY OH WHY, every time, I make my beardie a beautiful salad, hand cut and sized to perfection, I put it in his enclosure, and he takes a poop on it. He's done this three times now this week, and so I have to keep redoing his salad. Is this common?

OH, and another question. (sorry newbie owner) he does like spaz runs in his enclosure. One side to the other like 5 times in a row super fast. Is that normal too???

I take him out every day to hang out with me or lay on me...

I also got him a hammock! He loves it! Took him a couple days to adjust to it, but now he looks so cute sleeping on it!

My new baby has done this 2-3 times in the week since I've got him... So whether normal or not, at least other beardies do it too :D

LOL! At least it makes for easy clean up! Have you tried changing what kind of greens you feed him? My boy did not like strawberries. I would try to get him to eat them and he would turn his head, run away, anything to show me NO! One day I put them on his salad, it was a beautiful salad, greens/squash/3 types of greens/bee pollen, and he pooped right on top of it! Guess he told me LOL!

So we are in agreement that our beardies are pooping in salad because it dislike the food and not some weird behavior thing with dragon? Mine has been pooping in his salad everyday....:(
