Feeding pinky mice

[alphakenc]

Snails digest easily, plus they have plenty of moisture. The body breaks down the shell. I expect it would with bones too. With common sense, I don't feed giant snails to my chams lol.

Lol

What about the fat n protein ? It will still be in there right

Fuzzies are lower in fat I think(correct me if wrong). Roaches are high in protein as well, I don't *think that feeding a mouse once a month would be enough to do any damage.

U might be correct.Im just thinking about the cartilage and bone. At that age their bones may not be as compacted and is probably easy to break down though.
But on the other hand, chameleon is not like snakes which will break it down into a chalky milky powder.

pinkies are 64% protein and 17% fat

Now here is the kicker, fuzzies are fatties. They are 44% protein and 30% fat.

There is not much difference between a pinkie and fuzzy for calcium, they are both at a little over 1% by weight. Once they are walking around and are adults, they shoot up to 3%.

I’m curious when you were feeding pinkies did you see any side effects? Or any undigested materials?

I would think it would be good to feed more soft bodied insects around the time of feeding pinkies to make it easier for digestion. Thoughts?

And its easier to gutload vegetables to the insects than the pinky.
Here is an interesting link I like to share with u guys.

Interesting. Silkworms are also 64% protein and 10% fat. But everyone seems to love those.

That link I post was lots debate in the old days but no one was harm or became enemy just for u guys to know (I was too pump up for my testosterone lol)

I plan on breeding my own geckos to feed my Parsons. It's only cannibalism if you feed the same species lol.

I should add that silkworms do have a way higher calcium content so they are a better feeder.

Lol. I’m not sure how I would feel feeding another lizard to my Cham.

Ahhh, yeah I think I found them a real nice, caring home. In a couple weeks I'll be down to just my Parsons . And yeah, hopefully moving this summer. Should have more land for a nice outdoor cage and a shed for feeders.

Thanks for asking!
