: but he does this all the time, yet he also eats on the ground. he'll eat any where his food is. if he's on the ground, he'll eat on the ground if he happens to be on a branch, he dangles. i'm just wondering if this is harming him or anything.

: He is not yet comfortable enough in his enclosure and with you to be down on the ground. That is when an Ig is most vulnerable. Having his feet on the branches gives him an avenue of escape if those big lumbering humans come tromping up. Mine did that at first and finally settled in enough to actually get on the floor to eat. If you take out the branches he will feel less secure and may not eat at all.
