Whole prey food, like adult frozen/thawed mice is a good source. Dandelion leaves are good if he'll eat them. Regardless, apply a snowstorm of powdered calcium to each meal.

haretoday offers a wide variety or whole ground, using that would also make it much easier to add fruits and vegetables mixed in if they're picky eaters.

I haven't ordered anything just yet but I've checked out their selection. All of mine are currently down accept for my chacoan, but he still won't eat so I haven't ordered anything yet.

I just looked. The ground chicken looked good. Had meat, organs, and bone.

I usually feed whole mice from RodentPro and supplament with organ meat, whole meat, fruit, high-quality dog food, etc. My 1.3 then sleep for about 4-5 months. Yey! No food.

Heh, it definitely cuts down on the cost of owning them, I do miss being able to interact more with them though.

I've had good luck with reptilinks. Talia likes them, they use whole prey of many varieties, and it's about the only way I can consistently get fruits/veggies in her.
