I've got a Beardie and she isn't too hard to feed. I started out with an adult Beardie because I knew I couldn't handle feeding a baby so much at a time. If they are similar to feeding a Beardie then I'm sure I could handle having an Ackie. I get a lot of pinkies for my KSB and occasionally I give my Beardie a pinkie so I could also give the Ackie that occasional pinkie.

From what I hear it isn't necessary to feed monitors mice often, just as an occasional treat which is fine with me.
