Eating pinky mice...

caramia12 Mar 27, 2011 09:42 AM

My blue tongue skink has been eating two frozen thawed pinky mice a week along with his normal veggies. He eats them like they're a delicacy. I'm not really sure if this is good for him but I'm assuming the calcium in the pinky mice's bones are good. What do you think?

Personally, two a week is a bit too much. Blue Tongued skinks should be getting their animal protein mostly from insects, plus plenty of greens and some fruit. Pinkies really should be a once or twice a month treat.
