RE: Feeding chicks?

Its not about figuring or thinking or guessing. My recomendations are based of results.

Many people here base what they do on what they think and that is based on a diet for people.

Your comment was, chicks are lean. Which for us is good, we eat way way way to much fat and as a result have a high percentage of obese indiviiduals.

Monitors do not live in a world of donuts and processed foods. In their case, fat is a good thing. But then I am guessing at why mice work better. They just work better is really the answer.

Then again, if your goal is not growth and reproduction, combined with longevity, they feed chicks.

Again, they are not harmful, so include some if you like. Cheers
