sav monitors??

[snakemann87]

Hey, I was just curious as to what you feed your savannahs?? I have my two little guys on insects only. Also a pic of you savannah would be cool and if you tell me what you feed them, could you state the age also. Thanks

P.S.- if you could post the pic in this thread, not a "check in my gallery". I think people would enjoy viewing it in the thread, I know I do.

i feed my sav with fuzzies (my sav mesure 20inch) and with a lot of meat (calf's/chicken liver, beaf...), more you vary his food, more is better, but my sav is to big to eat insect. i will send picture on my gallery today. bye

but my sav is to big to eat insect.

Savannahs eat insects all of their lives. Its actually really good exersize for an adult Savannah to go around chacing down huge crickets. Super worms are great for adults all their lives too. Of Course I don't mean feed them only insects. the do need meat, and eggs, and fish , and anything else your, your kids, your dog wont eat.lol Ok Not quite that much of a variety. Just really no prepared foods. Too high in fat. Savannahs get notoriously fat anyway.

Insects should make up about 80% of their diet for a majority of their life. Unfortunatly its hard to get "large" insects unless you have access to roaches, and I dont. So i usually feed crickets until they reach 3 feet (occasionally here and there otherwise too get them some excercise) Mealworms (all their life) rodents (once large enough to handle them) Once in awhile I feed them Seafood, meat and boiled/scrambled eggs. If you boil them, leave the shell on. They can also eat the odd lizard (i dont do this, but it can be done)

I simply stick to a full rodent diet with the occasionall hissers and eggs on the side..

over a foot .. only rodents for me..

Under proper husbandry .. savs should not get fat..

i know but i dont feed my sav only with insecte

I've been feeding rodents since my sav was about 12'' long.Insects and pinkies before that. he also developed a taste for chicken hearts and gizzards for a short while.

right now he's a little on the plumper side because i'm giving him stuff that the other monitors wont eat (new monitors, acclimating still).. he's currently about 2.5 feet long.. had him since he was 5'' long.

time to feed the beast..

I have two savannah's and they feed on hisser's and disco's roaches mostly. I have a large quanity if anyone is interested in buying or trading.

I know you asked for sav monitors but I could not stop myself this was taken B4 I found out feeding meat was not a good thing so bear with me ok.

Zoo med has a product called can o snails. Has anyone tryed feeding it to there monitor? Natural diet. Variety is good though!

I fed mine giant african land snails.. quite entertaining to see tehm eat that.. soe emperor scorps too (deceased ones..) ..

Anything is food.. Eggs that went bad or duds from my snakes..

but again.. rodent is my base diet

[Colonel SB]

I feed all my monitors a wide variety of foods a balanced diet is best, the the staples are mice & Crickets

At the petstore, they have a small one and they feed it pinkies and crickets. SOMETIMES they will get mealies.
