feeding wds??

Hello again to everyone-
Updates on the WD I rescued, she's doing great! She's gaining weight and she seems very happy. I just had a quick question, we've discovered that she loves pinkies-how many is a good amount to give her, and how often should I give them to her? She is about 8-10 inches not including the tail. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated...also are the pinkies ok or should she get fuzzies?

Thanks again!!!

Fuzzies are better because they have bigger bones, so are higher in calcium, and they are lower in fat. She will probably only eat 1-2 fuzzies in a day. If she is underweight you can feed her as many as she wants.

ooo goodie, she'll be so excited!!! She loves these things. It is the cutest thing I've ever seen!! Her whole face lites up eating them. Thanks so much.

the pinkies have a better calcium to poshphorus ratio, but both are good. I feed fuzzies to mine becuase they generally cost about the same and you get much more fuzzie for your dollar.
