Hello GK,



Feeding a raw meat from time to time would probably not hurt the monitor. The trouble is that it is easy to make this process a bad habit- one that will kill your lizard. Whole prey items are composed of many different proteins that provide nutrients and function to your lizard- many of these proteins are not even fully understood by science- all are important... When you limit your lizards diet to specific protein sources like muscle meat, your lizard has lost out on everything else. Whole food items with an emphasis on rodents is the recipe your lizard will benefit from. Best to you- Mike
