After a shed, and after a large meal! DUW

[A.VinczeBTs]

So my little Zelda shed, and is looking much brighter. She also got a new dog food, mixed with squash as a dinner. Doesn't eat the whole portion most of the time, only the size of her/his head then goes to basking. This time the WHOLE portion was wolfed down so fast! I think I found a favorite veggie (squash, loved it the last meal too!)and a new fav dog food.

Here is a video:

Since I sound like a per-pubecent boy when I talk (I'm a 22 year old woman... ), I took out the volume and replaced with a song I was listening to at the time. (Rocky road to Dublin by The Dubliners)

And some pics:

Food?

So fuuuuuull. He ate so fast he looked pretty bloated, and basked for a while and is now sleeping it off.

Going to keep finding new veggies and meats for him (he liked the egg I gave him last time, but not this much!). Hopefully I'll find his faves pretty fast, next I might try other types of squash (butternut so far).

Hope you guys enjoy! It smelt pretty nasty, squash uncooked smells terrible to me.

you have a very pretty skink. It looks very happy!

[A.VinczeBTs]

Yeah...if he gets food he's the happiest little poop ever! Loves squash, loves loves loves, he'll sniff the air if I'm eating my cooked version on the days he doesn't eat!! (every second or 3rd day, I try for every second)

Also, is lamb good for them? I gave him a chicken, veggie, and rice mix (no by-products), and was thinking of getting their lamb mix next week for variety but not sure if it's good for them? Should I stick with turkey and beef?

Thanks!

lamb meat is probably good(i feed small pieces occasionally), but its kinda fatty compared to regular beef, but just as nutricious and definitely tasty ;D
lots about it is written since many like to give it to their dogs, so you can always google and check

definitely mix all you can if you have the opportunity they are okay with the same things every feeding, if its a nutritionally good meal that is, but theres also that emntal happiness of switching every now and then.....and i strongly believe in that its good to variate to make sure they get a little of everything.

rice is just a filler, so if you can by-pass it somehow thats good. its not dangerous or anything, just doesnt hold much nutritional value.

[A.VinczeBTs]

Yeah I know rice is just their to fill in the rest, but in this formula it's very low on the ingredients list, like last, all the meats are first. So I figure it can't be as bad, plus it looked healthier than some of the rice-free ones. I'm sorta an ingredient-reading buff since I have health issues (immune system hates me) so we got into the habit of knowing everything on the back of our meals.

But still looking for more brands that are healthy and rice free (and grain free in general)! The Lamb one has no rice, and neither does the beef one, so those will be next probably! Thanks!

Thanks! Didn't even realize he was dull until he shed, then I realized he must have gone into shed (the start) basically the day I got him. He so pretty.
