the wall of my enclosure is styrofoam that’s paint and cut to look like rocks. when he is exploring, he sometimes rips the paint off the styrofoam. this is fine because he doesn’t eat the paint but i saw him attack the styrofoam today. he ate a very small amount of it. i immediately patched all the exposed styrofoam up, but i was wondering if i should give him something to help pass the styrofoam. i’ve heard squash, applesauce, and some kinds of prunes help. he seems to be okay but i was wondering what everyone thinks. thanks

He will be fine they have eaten a lot worse+ canned pumpkin unsweetened applesauce are good

Other people have already commented their advice so I wont touch on that, but we had to take the the Styrofoam out of our VIV because we feed our dragon in his VIV so he can safely hunt them (we are watching the whole time of course, and remove any bugs he doesn't get) and the crickets were able to get behind the Styrofoam and climb up out of the tank haha
