wow. that's interesting. panthers aren't known for munching on plants like that. my nosy be has never showed any interest at all in live plants, although he doesn't have a hibiscus (my female veiled does). my male veiled also eats his ficus a good bit.

:I changed out some of the plants in my male Nosy Be panther cage, that I had repotted into bigger pots, and one was his hibiscus plants. He loves to eat the flowers, flower buds, and leaves off the plant! This is the fist time I have seen him do this, he will eat a ficus leaf every now and then, but nothing like the hibiscus. He is well fed on silkworms and crickets, but once I put that hibiscus back in, its like he is at an all you can at salad bar!LOL Has anyone had any of there panthers do this? The pic above is my Nosy Be, but it is a little outdated, he has yellow lips starting to show now!
