veild question

plainjane Oct 10, 2004 03:45 PM

I just got a 2 year old veild male as a rescue.The former owner said she feeds him crickets and pinkies every day.I know crickets and meal worms silkies ect. are ok but what about pinkies and if so how often.I thought pinkies where not that good for a veild and every day seemes like a lot.
Does anyone have any advise? It is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you for reading and your help in advance

I would not feed him ANY pinkies
Theres no positive reason to do it so why take a chance
there coud be negative effects on the cham.

PINKIES ARE VERY BAD TO FEED. iF YOU DO FEED PINKIES IT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO ONCE A MONTH AS THEY ARE VERY VERY HIGH IN FAT.
