If I am feeding my alligator a variety of different food (salmon crickets, wax worms, bait fish) is there any need for any kind of vitamins for it? Also how old/long do they need to be to be able to sex them?

Vitamin supplements are always a good idea. I use miner-all from Sticky tongue farms. Generally once they are about 3.5-4 feet you can then begin to sex them. Fish (catfish,perch,etc.), beef liver, beef slices, chicen and whole animals also make up a fantastic diet for crocodilians. Mr.Dupont from gatorland that frequents this forum, provided that list of food, and my alligator is all the healthier for it.
Good Luck!!

I simply add a human multivitamin to the inside of a food item now and again. They are cheaper and more than adequate.

Hi Chris,
So 1 centrum or '1 a day' pushed down a thawed rats throat for a 5' caiman would be sufficient? and how often?
I've never used vitamins for him, but could see this being successful (if this is what was meant).
BTW, thanks for the book.....
