Savannah monitor hep!!!

[jclaiborne]

Thing is i dont think hes big enough to eat rodents yet, he only eats the medium sized crickets. The stores around me oonly have dead oinkies and he wouldnt take that. any other suggestions on food?

This has already been said by myself and others, he is big enough to take down a pinky. The fact that he doesn't want to means he could be sick, temps aren't right, or again like we have all said they enclosure is completely wrong and he is stressed out, it most likely is a combination of all 3! are you just laying the pinky down and expecting him to eat it. Use tongs and dangle it try to stimulate his prey drive, work on fixing the issues that have been pointed out to you over and over. You have already said you have a 6ft cage available, get to work on that get him in there, that will buy you some time to build the correct size cage. I will say this one more time CRICKETS ARE NOT A NUTRITIOUS FORM OF FOOD, keep trying the pinkies, try silk worms, try horn worms, dubia roaches, butter worms, silk worms, at this point try ground turkey, try fish, try shrimp, this is not your bearded dragon it is a completely different animal. You said you are not one to ignore advice and so far you have gotten plenty of advice, links to sites that cover all of this...what more do you want people to tell you.
