Hand Feeding V.s Tong Feeding
I have had multiple monitor lizards most of which I have pre killed the food then hand fed the monitor. ..
. I normally pull my monitors out of their cage and feed in a large rubber maid so they are aware that anything coming into the cage isnt food ...But the minute they hit that rubbermaid container they get excited cuz they know its time to eat. .. I pre kill to keep the natural aggression down ... Feeding them outside their habitat influences them to come to me and not be scared to come to the door so I can pull them out.... My six footer actually stands and pretty much reaches for me to pull him out and feed him... Since my cages are all glass 6x4x4 its awesome when they come to me.... Now I have 4 hatchlings and was wonder if its okay to hand feed with fingers or use tongs ... Im not worried about the teeth on a hatchling like I'am a full adult monitor... I just seen a guy a pet shop feeding a 8ft togian monitor by hand and the gentle giant took the dead rat out of his hands so gentally I was amazed the monitor looked like it didnt want to hurt his handlers hand ....
