This may sound silly, but jalapeno peppers are spicy, wouldn't they hurt their little tongues?

yes its only mammals that are affected. birds are unaffected by the spiciness of the hottest peppers out there

(i did research before giving Jango a bell pepper)

if anyone cares. i just took the remaining bell pepper out of the cage this morning because it fell off the spear onto the floor of the cage, here is the remainder of it if it didn't fall off the other side would be eaten too, for some reason Jango doesn't eat anything that falls to the bottom of his cage, which is a good thing i guess

thats a really good idea!! how long do you think you could leave it in the cage before it goes bad? normally veggies dont stay in that long.... BTW we call the paprika over here

As Michael asked, how did you hang this in the cage? I would love to try this with Merlin!
