i have an ally snapper(megalon)that i have had for about 9 months.i have yet to find anything that he(it?)won't eat.small crawdads,baby bluegills,grass shrimp,tadpoles,everything i can get out of my neighbors stocked pond.heck,even the occasional goldfish.but last week,i got a pinky for my beardy,but he didn't want it,so i washed it off,got my forceps,and wiggled it it front of him,& poof,no more pinky.my question is,are pinkies ok for him every once in a while,or could i feed them once a week or so?btw,megalon's roughly 4" along the shell.he's not obese,but he doesn't go hungry,either.
thanks in advance,chris

hello Chris, there's certainly nothing wrong feeding snappers mice. although they dont get much calcium from pinkies it sounds like youre making up for it in the rest of the diet.
thanks,i was pretty sure once in awhile was ok,i just didn't know if pinkies were too fatty for a diet staple.now,if i could get my mata to eat one.btw,my boxies love 'em!thanks
