 Pinkies

There have been posts about feeding pinkies on here before...you might do a search and read what everyone says. I think pinkies are too big for them to eat. You can boost calcium and nutirents with eart worms and they usually love them. I personally wouldn’t feed pinkies to my MHDs.

 Pinkies

You can feed but keep in mind it basically needs to be only a few days old, or you could have (like in our case once) she could not ingest . We do not feed them to our girls all the time or anything but a few times a year we do give them pinkies. We do not breed our girls we do not even own a male but since all the girls lay eggs it takes a lot from their system and a few years ago Froggie b had said it was of safe practice to give a pinkie when their health and enclosure were stable for her to process the food problem free. If things have changed then I guess we will both learn of it at the same time cause I have been caring for mhd’s for a few years now, and treat all the ladies the same when they need it..

I have fed very small pinkies to my adult females after laying a clutch of eggs. This is not something I do regularly.
