Hello Paradon & Others,

We did keep a small group of savannah babies to raise up(young adults) exactly like many breeders keep ackies and they grew very fast feeding on crickets and pinky mice. I did not keep them longterm because a tornado took our roof away so they were given away to focus on the more pertinent issue... I have a short video of one of them when we moved them to an outside enclosure during the summer here. It's a neat video and you can see how alert and reponsive the videoed animal is even from a distance. When they are given enough heat I found that they could be maintained well on any whole foods that they would take so long as the vertebrate foods followed with the provision of enough heat to use the energy for growth.
Well, I hope this post is useful to some new keeper. This old information gets often sidestepped by people when they feel like they are treading new ground. It's exciting to keep monitors though. That's really why we all come to these sites... Best to You- Mike S
