Man...you should do some serious reading on food and care for your reptiles. And you should definitly not give advice on beardies and food until you do so. I don't want to be rude, but if you're really serious in your previous post, then, well... Let's just say that different animals have different needs that should be taken care of.



Yes, pinkies have bones. Bones which are not the easiest for a beardie to digest... A snake can also eat a cat, but would you feed your beardie a cat??? I sincerely hope not.



Pinkies could carry a number of different parasites. I'm not saying all of them do, but there's a risk that should be mentioned, and as long as there's absolutely no need to take that risk, why do so?



Also, pinkies are very fat, and that's not good for your beardie either. It could, for instance, lead to liver problems.



The bottom line:

- Pinkies are no good for your beardie, and there's absolutely no need to feed them.

- There are certain risks involved with feeding pinkies to your beardie, and once again, there is no need to take those risks.

- There is plenty of good, healthy food for beardies. Give that to your beardie instead.

- The beardie is not a snake or a monitor, and requires a whole different diet, as well as temperature and humidity.



Please, meretseger, have a look at the link to Beautyfuldragons.com that I posted in my first reply here. Also, find similar information for your other reptiles, and provide them with individual diets suited for their needs.
