    Re: Frank - The Blue Tongue Skink

    This little booger tried to eat me when I initially tried cutting his nails and you were restraining.

    He just casually turned, and when NOM. Dave didn't even notice as I was fighting for my life!!!

    Lol. (Just kidding, it was a very gentle nibble.).

    Anyways it does not make me like trimming his nails any more.

    Frank just finished shedding and got his congratulatory/build back your strength meal. He was quite pleased. He's looking great. So bright and reddish/maroon/copper especially after a shed.

    Thank you!

    Frank eats Soylent Green, so PEOPLE! PEOPLE!

    All kidding aside, this meal included a reptilink with rabbit, insects, fruits, and veggies, and Flukers Garden Blend veggie and fruit pellets (https://flukerfarms.com/crafted-cuisine/). Both are really moist and he loves them.

    He gets those about 1X a week and 1X a week he gets ferret pellets (moistened in water) and freeze dried (re-hydrated of course) veggies and a little fruit. He also gets canned bugs of all types at least 1X every 2-3 weeks.

    I don't know who looks more relaxed- Ally or Frank?

    Re: Frank - The Blue Tongue Skink

    Frank has been eating a mixed diet including Flukers adult Bearded Dragon and Omnivorous Lizard food and the Flukers Garden Blend pellets (part of their crafted cuisine food line). He likes them. His favorite is still the reptilinks sausage but I can't justify the price for what little he eats and shipping etc.

    His diet now consists of the above (links below), dried ferret food that I moisten/soak before feeding, canned and freeze dried insects, and occasional f/t pinkie, and vegetable and fruit mixes (usually freeze dried as well). He also loves the Zoomed Canned Blue Tongue skink food. That only lasts a week in the fridge, so I give that to him every couple of weeks since much is wasted. He eats 2X a week now. In the winter, he eats 1X a week, but occasionally will skip a meal or eat sparingly. He tends to lay low and lightly brumate in the winter.

    I supplement 1X a week with reptile vitamins and 1X a week with calcium. Not too much as he eats a balanced diet.

    Here he is enjoying his flukers meal.

    Oh cool! It's been a while since we've had an update on Frank.

    That's too bad that the Zoomed BTS diet doesn't come in smaller cans- couldn't you freeze scoops of it right when you open the can, so it would keep a lot longer? I've done that with Gerber's chicken baby food when I had a small snake that needed tube-feeds- otherwise most of the jar would be a waste- so I scooped out the needed amounts onto waxed paper until they froze, then put the frozen lumps into a container in the freezer, & just thawed one lump at a time as I needed to feed.

    I can remember looking up the prices of Reptilinks & thinking they're rather pricey also- especially with the shipping. I hope Frank appreciates how good he has it.

    Good idea on freezing the zoomed food.

    Frank's pretty cool, but not growing, and therefore no need to update too much. I will work on it though . He's a crowd favorite.
