But, she's such a big girl that the pinkie mouse was barely a nibble for her! Two seconds and it was gone
My question is: can beardies eat anything other than pinkie mice? For example, fuzzy mice, or pinkie rats? I just thought the pinkie mouse was kinda small for her. She is only going to be having them as a treat once a month. We're going overseas in four weeks, and we will be away for a fortnight - although someone is going to feed her while we are away, I still think she may eat less than usual and we want to make sure she stays in good condition.

Well I was thinking pinkie rats, fuzzy mice, or fuzzy rats - just something a bit more substantial than a little pinkie mouse. Full-grown mice though, wow - was it a big beardie??

Might try her on something a little bigger.
