How often should my BTS eat?

toby1331 Jul 08, 2003 10:45 PM

Thanks to James for the infomration on all the types of food that i can offer to my BTS. I'm trying lots of new thngs and finding out what he likes and doesn't like. (He loves hard boiled eggs!) Which I'm just not sure how often he should eat. Do I offer him food every day or evey few days. I'm not sure if he is not eating new things because he doesn't like it or isn't hungy. Also how many different types of food should I mix together? Right now I'm just offering one new thing at a time to see if he likes it.

Is it a baby or an adult? I feed babies as much as every day, or as little as every other day. Adults can eat as much as every other day, or as little as twice a week. As for how often and how many new food items should be added, it is basically trial and error. If your skink seems like he/she does not like something. Wait and try it a week/month/year later. It is all a learning process.
