"Im not saying to only feed rodents, but as you said to me before offer them several choices and see what they want, my albigs have almost always preferred either rodents or birds over any other foods." -SHvar

Compare the fat content of the average rodent-based captive diet to that of a wild monitor. I'd be willing to bet it's a huge difference. Any biologists out there?

I'm sure my sav would "prefer" eggs 100% of the time. But, that would be a horrible diet.
