BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Hi again all could i ask when you feed do you make everthing mushy i have been dicing everthing really small for my newly aquired bluey and he seems to manage ok but if there is a better way thanks in advance from me in the UK for any replies

I chop my food using the little black and decker food chopper (I think a picture of it is on the caresheet). It chops everything so much faster and smaller then I ever could but the food isn't mushy.

I have the same one, i love it.

I have a food processor just for Rollie's dinner. And the occasional need for pesto.

I throw the greens in with a bit-o-catfood and chop it til everything green has a coat of brown goo Quiggers will then patiantly lick the goo off and give mr dirty skinky looks for tryin to hide the healthy stuff.

He tends to go on hunger strike til I put what he want in, loves banana but wont touch it now if it got greens stuck to it. he knows I have to de-snail the garden and sits it out til I do, stubborn little git

I have (and love!) a mini-chopper. Play around with the size of food pieces. My bluey does not like it when I get to crazy with the chopping. He prefers 1cm sized pieces to mush. I think for gum health and avoiding mouth rot you might want to doing the same. Good luck with your bluey. It is amazing how much personality is packed into these guys!

thanks for all of the replies tonight i have tried with the food processor i did sweet potatoe butternut squash and beet hes living it

This is what my "Quigly Goo" Looks Like
On the menu today:
Kale
Collards
Radish tops
a bit of turkey and liver cat food
and a grape tomato


Size of the Bits of greens as compared to a penny

OK OK Gratuitous Tongue shot

Blueys do not need copper as a part of their diets...

I think that's the first time someone has done a coin-reference for size comparison of bluey food...
