What do you guys think of my diet for my two juvenile Nile monitors?



Sunday: Crickets & mice

Monday: Crickets & chopped whole hard-boiled egg

Tuesday: Crickets & scallops

Wednesday: Crickets & chopped whole hard-boiled egg

Thursday: Crickets & roaches

Friday: Crickets & ground venison

Saturday: Crickets & fish



I'm going to replace the crickets with roaches once my colony gets up to speed; it's only going well enough to feed them sparingly at this point in time. They will only get half a F/T fuzzy each (if that) at their current size. I grind up the egg shells and mix them in with the rest of the egg to help increase the calcium in their diet. The venison is from my deer from hunting season and was processed by me; there are no preservatives in it, and most of the fat was removed before processing. The fish will either be tilapia fillet or live fish.



I greatly appreciate any recommendations. Thanks in advance!
