Mostly I just want clarification. I get what his point is: a rodent based diet will support better growth and overall well-being than other suggested diets. However, due to the way the post was written, I don't understand ALL of what was supposed to be conveyed. I didn't want to ask on the forums because I'd feel like a douche for bringing spelling and grammatical errors to public attention. I don't care that they're there, no one comes to KS to write college essays, but I can't comprehend all the ideas without correction.



For instance:



"I would avoid that shrimp, and other partical foods."



Is that particle or practical? Particle, I would assume, means not a whole food source. That makes sense to me, but the shrimp was whole, it was just cut into pieces so it was easier to consume. On the other hand, if it's practical, the statement wouldn't make as much sense to me since whole raw shrimp doesn't come easy.



And this statement, which I can't make sense of any which way as its currently written:



"What that means is, feeding the animal will cause it to grow, not offering foods(whole) foods such as shrimp, will not support that individual and actually cause it to fail."



I guess the important thing is that I understood MICE > OTHER STUFF.



And I wanted to ask what my size monitors should be consuming in terms of mice/rats. Prey size, amount, frequency?
