feeder lizards/geckos
I am looking in to using small lizards/geckos as feeders for my group of ackies. I have learned that it is part of their natural diet so I would like to find some information and/or first hand experience, opinions and debates on the topic. Please keep in mind I do not wish to read or care for any thing pertaining to morals or ethics of the practice. This is strictly for the health of my monitors. Their diet currently includes crickets, beetles, dubia, orange head and baby hissing roaches, ground fuzzies and grasshoppers/locusts. I would like to add more diversity and prefer it be as close to their natural diet as possible.
Things I'm concerned with are:
1) parasites and parasite control
2) which species
3) breed a supply or wild catch
4) how often to feed
And so on
