Fuzzies might be too big, pinkies are better. And only as a rare treat, not regularly as they are very fatty.

CAN and SHOULD are different. they can eat rocks too but I would advise aginst it. There are a lot of foods with a better nutritional value than rodents for BDs. Baby mice have a huge amount of fat. Silkies, roaches, supers... and then dusting prey with T-rex VGF is a much better way to go for power feeding.

Don't get me wrong, I agree.

Why bother when there are so many better options?

I would not feed my dragons any kind of mouse there is no real good from it as long as they are supplemented with the right varity of foods and vitimains there is no need for it.

No fuzzys allowed. At the most, pinkies, but is totally unnecessary. Actually pinkies can harbor parasites like pinworms. So why risk it? They are very high in fat.
