Not sure were this thread started, but i thought the whole point of these forums was to improve the quality of life in respect to captive monitors.
We all no that the vast majority of savs are bought by first time keepers, not experienced keepers generally speaking.
We all know that most will die in their first year.
We all know the easiest diet for novices to stick to is crickets/locuts/roaches etc dusted.
We all know that savs growth is unlikely to be sustained on insects alone & novice keepers may under supply vitamins/calcium, so we added in egg/mice etc as weekly treats to balance the books.
There's alot of people out there that would love to see monitors stay in the wild, surley as keepers if we can reduce the yearly deaths of first time owners pet savs, this would benefit our hobby overall!!
