id love to see a panther that can eat a mouse... much less a RAT haha.... but I think pinkies are ok.. some advise it every now and then for Vit A

 

[Ryan123]

on youtube a veiled eats a full grown mouse its huge and i wondered and how many pinkies???? will bones hurt them or something????????????????

 

[jannb]

Some panthers will eat veggies. I wouldn't do it but some members feed a pinkie every couple of months.

 

[Ryan123]

what veggies? i cant get mine to they have only been eating crickets and superworms

 

[Lizardlover]

My panther eats veggies occasionally, and I do know one member who feeds pinkies every few months, but the best is just to stick to insects.

 

[Lizardlover]

a panther that eats veggies is very rare. kale, carrots, collard green, strawberries, grapes and melon all make good munchies.

i dont think the bones could hurt from a pinky. And veileds are gluttons and bigger... i dont think you could get a feeding response from a panther with a mouse. maybe a pinky

Superworms are fatty. Try silkworms.

 

[Ryan123]

[jannb]

I buy at www.coastalsilkworms.com

 

[Ryan123]

[jannb]

Fairly easy and they are excellent feeders for your Cham.

 

[Ryan123]

How old is your panther? I would not suggest feeding them a pinky. Why don't you like feeding him insects?

 

[Ryan123]

my males seven and my females ten cuz i thought it would look cool

I would highly advise against feeding panthers a pink until they are atleast a year old (if you do it at all). I wouldn't feed it to a female at all.

What's your reasoning for not feeding it to a female...

About once every 4-6 months I offer my adults a pinkie and if they go for it right away great if they don't seem interested then they miss out.

I think "cuz i thought it would look cool" isn't a great reason to decide what to feed a living creature. You're showing a real lack of maturity.
