Kaidro - A 40cm Bluey should take the pinky easily - either place it in the food bowl with the greens or offer by hand or tweezers...nothing to it...

Only give them as a treat as they can make your lizard gain weight (from personal experience)

Ours love them. Nothing like that goes to waste round here.

Our long necked turtles like pink mice as a treat also.

A bluey that lives in our shed has found a nest of mice and just ransacks their home and eats the babies.
