Feeding and substrate question
With my baby boy Ive been wanting to make him a more naturalistic set up, I now use dirt/sand to get that tropical feel and it helps with humidity and keeps the plants alive, which he seems to love. Question here is dirt bad? I guess I should have asked before hand but I got so tired of mulch, it was hard to keep humidity and bothered his breathing. This stuff is great and Ive even seen him burrow a bit.
Second question:
Lately tucson has seen a rat crisis. The only rats you can ever find IF you can find them are the small ones. It would take 4 to 5 to equal what he NEED to eat. So I have resorted to pigeons. They are large, meaty but as well lean. At 5 dollars a large bird its cheeper than the rats, plus fresh (no I dont feed live but I kill then straight feed). Is there any harm in this? I looked for chickens but pigeons are FAR more economical and easier to come by, apparently pigeons are a big deal here. They arnt wild- they are birmingham roller pigeons and fan tails so no risk of parasites. Is there any negative to pigeons? I would buy online but with us leaving for germany it doesnt seem cost effective to pay 55 dollars on rats then 60 something on shipping. :/
