Shinglebacks diet...

[Tobe404]

So basically I feed my two Shinglebacks every couple of days (weather permitting) on left over/uneaten fruit/veg/salad.

Once a month I will give them a Weaner Mouse each so that they get some 'meat' or 'prey', as such.

My question is:

Should i be incorperating more meat into their diet or do you think it is okay as is? And should I feed them dusted Crickets/Woodies?

They are outside so they get all of their heat and the majority of the Vitimins/D3 from the Sun.

Nah, I don't think they need more. I rarely feed mine mice. Yes feed them dusted insects, or sprinkle calcium on their veggies. I feed mine a diet of mostly veggies, fruit and flowers. And feed them insects less often.

mine get a few snails every few weeks, and the occasional roach when i feel like risking my fingers,...aside from that is mostly greens/veg/fruit etc,..

Thanks guys. Will take the advice on board.
I was worried about being bitten to start with, but not anymore.
I hand feed them every time, so I've just gotten used to it.

No prob
They have a pretty strong bite on em. Mine are great, gentle lizards. Great feeders too.

Lol, oh yeah mine are the same when it comes to roaches or crickets. Mine love a good massage on the head though. They go to sleep lol.
