Hello,

I have a few questions on feeding a young sav (bout 6 inches long or so) , I've read many things and searched the old forums and everything, but i keep coming up with a bunch of different answers. how often should I feed my baby sav pinkies? When hes big enough to eat a fuzzy mouse, can i just feed him strictly rodents and no more insects? Right now I am giving him his fill of dusted crickets every other day, and a pinkie or two every other day. He wont even touch any kinds of worms yet, ive tried mealies and supers and he wants nothing to do with them. Some things I have read say thats fine, others say pinkies shouldnt be fed very often because of the lack of roughage and calcium. so im a little confused as to whats a perfect diet for my little guy. Sorry for such a novice question, but there is just so much conflicting information I dont know whats right or wrong or what. Thanks so much!

Go to proexotics.com and check their caresheets. They don't sell Savs so look under blackthroats ,their care info is basically the same. It should answer your questions, they have the best caresheets around.
