    Re: are pinkies ok????

    Pinkies are NOT a good source of food all the time, they are just too fatty for dragons.

    But pinkies make a nice treat every now and again...... there are less benefits to feeding pinkies to dragons on a regular basis, so I myself only do it every once in awhile. Maybe once every few months...

    Re: are pinkies ok????

    I have a question about this topic. Is it ummm....gross...when they eat a pinky? Does it leave blood on the substrate or anything? I'd rather have my rodents eaten whole...lol. And would you feed a beardie a LIVE pink? Or only f/t?

    i'm pretty sure i gave mine live when she was gravid. and i didn't listen for any crunching sounds... but there was no mess left at all.

    Re: are pinkies ok????

    I have had several experiences with this..

    some that all you hear is crunching..... and it really dont leave any mess..

    some they kinda chew, and it can be kinda gross cause yeah..ummm, shall I say... "rolly polly pinky heads".... you get the picture I am sure..

    and the other experience, they chew a few times and swallow...

    ~little shudders~ So...if I decide to give my beardie a pinky treat....I'll just leave the room. I'd rather have a little puddle of blood in the sand rather than hear those crunchy sounds! LOL
