Question Beardie tucker - fuzzy mice? pinky rats?

Soooo Phoenix had her first pinkie mouse last night and looked quite chuffed about the whole thing

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.

Wow, full-grown mice

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??

No it wasnt a huge beardie or frillie for that matter.

They smashed it easy.

I have also fed EWD's mice.

Yeah, like I said - she practically inhaled the little pinkie mouse!

Might try her on something a little bigger.
