Only Mice?

elpescadorli Mar 03, 2004 11:41 AM

My BT is recovering from a URI and has been ignoring everything but frozen fuzzy mice. Is this ok for the time being or is it important to get him back on crickets and super worms? If so any tips on how to get him eating bugs again?

PS: in general is it a bad idea to allow him an all meat diet? These are all pre killed mice.

let him eat the mice, once he is large enough I doubt he would go after a meal worm anyways. I mean can you imagine a 6-7 foot monitor seeking out a cricket or meal worm??

Try some hissing roaches, if you really wish it to continue on it's bug feeding frenzy.
