This would also allow the dragon to enchant its natural weapons, although it would have to eat a weapon for each natural weapon it wanted an enchantment on. So it would have to eat three flaming weapons to get the flaming enchantment on its bite and claws, and would have to eat 3 adamantine weapons to get an adamantine bite/claws.

There would also be the limitation that, while you could eat another item to remove the effects of a previous one, you don't get the previous item back. So, if you decided you wanted adamantine full plate instead of mithral, you don't get the mithral full plate back.

Not sure whether this would be exceptionally prone to abuse, or a bad idea. I just think it makes sense for a dragon, and was curious whether it would work.

The items would probably appear on their alternate form so that it made sense the alternate form got the benefits. The items still could not be sold.
cool idea. there would have to be enhancement bonus limitations dependent upon class level. i'm not so keen on allowing material properties of the item to transfer over, like adamantine weapons and stuff. but if you do allow those, you might need to put level limitations on those too, depending on the kind of material.
