Hi folks just wondering is wet dog food ok for my bells lacey its 60cm long and weights 100 grams

should be fine but dont make that its staple diet
fish, bones, mammals, snails and a variety of eggs, birds like quail and chooks chopped meat like kangaroo all serve much better than just dog food

 

[charlies]

he/she gets a mixture of baby chicks and mice i feed it every 2nd day but when i weighed it last it lost 2 grms is this ok..What sort of eggs and how do you prepare them

 

[Defective]

bird eggs so chook eggs,duck eggs, i think they eat them raw try chopped up chook,rabbit (raw), mice and rats (thawed)

They eat the eggs whole charlies (he is too small atm)

How long have you owned it? Is this your first lacie or monitor in general?..

A 60cm lacie wont be eating raw eggs any time soon (too big to swallow), so I wouldn't bother with them. Stick to whole/chopped mice, rats, quail, roo meat and insects.
