Ok so sammi is 6months old. I recently came up with a feeding schedule for him and was wondering if you guys can put some feed back on it.

MONDAY: fuzzies
TUESDAY:Turkey&insects/calcium without d3
WEDNESDAY:insects calcium with d3
THURSDAY: gizzards with calcium
FRIDAY: fuzzies
SATURDAY:turkey/ fruits with calcium
SUNDAY: INSECTS WITH CALCIUM D3.

More fruits, less turkey and gizzards (maybe one feeding per week with both included), good on fuzzies untill he can eat larger sizes, if you have a good output UVB bulb you probably don't need as much D3 added, maybe once every other week or once a week, they can overdose on D3, and you're good on insects too. It looks pretty good though like I said maybe include a piece or two of fruit with his other meals to help with pooping and giving him hydration to help digestion as well.

Also if you can order frozen chicks, quail and larger sized mice than he can swallow you can chop them up so he can eat them easily without having to force them down his throat. Those will be better nutritionally than fuzzies but they are better than pinkies so that is a good start.
