"Pinkies to fuzzies really don't have much calcium, as their bones are not well developed. In addition, the monitors eating small mice are usually the ones in greatest need of calcium because they are growing babies/juveniles." -SamSun

Pinkies to fuzzies do not have a lot of calcium compared to larger mice--that is a true statement. Growing baby/juvi monitors do have the greatest need for calcium (as opposed to adults)--that is a true statement.



Your point--and FR's point--is that pinkies contain ENOUGH calcium for growing/baby monitors. If Frank says so, I will believe it because, of any of us, he would know.



Now I just need to know if the same holds true for baby quail with their porous bones and zero milk intake.
