i feed every third day, sometimes every fourth depending on how much of his veggies hes picked out.

when he is eating i buy salad mixes, often with aragula and such, but of course without spinach and iceberg lettuce.
as for the protein i feed low quality dog food and high quality dog food every other time or so.
i also sprinkle with calcium every meal.

litchie is 47 cm and one and a half years old or so. currently brumating, or trying to.

There is more than one way to raise a healthy BTS, so this is just what I do. I am sure other methods can work too.

0-3 months - every other day
3-6 months - twice a week
Over 6 months - once a week

This works great for me, and most of my skinks eat enthusiastically when fed this way.
