Feeding Giblets - Yum (gross)

[infernalis]

Before anyone comments, you all know that these lizards get a well rounded balanced diet. One plate of turkey guts is not going to throw anything out of balance.... Now on to the pictures.

Cera does a tripod for a giblet.

Great photos, Wayne ;) I love seeing photos of your beasts

They will get giblets again on Christmas, then we don't buy a whole turkey again until next year.

[dinosaurdammit]

question, would you feed them cut up parts of the neck?

[infernalis]

Yes, they ate the neck... the windpipe looked like macaroni.

[dinosaurdammit]

so do you think it would be safe to feed the mix breed? Hes about their size albeit his head isnt as broad as theirs. If I cut it up I would imagine he could eat it.

I think offering the giblets is a great idea!!! :) organ tissues are a great source of nutrients whether you're a reptile or mammal, and the neck is a great source of chondroitin (helps keep joints healthy).

The cut up trachea was kinda gross, but they ate it right up.

That's more turkey then I got yesterday :(

They look pleased with their snack

Just picked up a package of chicken organs, $1 a pound.

I have a few thawing out, pictures in a little while.

Of course, they will always get their bugs, worms and rats along with it...

Have a look, their whole lives have been documented from the first day.

Wayne.. do you have anyone near you that slauters their own animals? ( cows,pigs ext) That would be a good way to get some treats for your guys.. I know of a few places that give stuff to a guy down in mass with a few savs.
