Feeder size

Postby Gail » Wed Feb 22, 2012 12:02 pm

I recently got out of bearded dragons and I have a ton of bugs left over, 1000 superworms and about 200 adult dubia. Would the dubia be too big for a 12"-14" juvenile Northern? I'd hate to see the dubia go to waste, especially since they are such a good feeder.

I feed my juvie adult dubia all the time, she's around that size. If you are worried they can be cut up and fed that way.

Not really worried but I wasn't sure if a skink had a narrow throat or not, would want one to choke.

They are amazing at what can stuff down! Something squishable like dubias will be fine (and healthy). :D
