the fun thing with monitors is that they eat lots of different things... In my opinion, the basic captive monitor food should be rodents. They have bones that will turn out to calcium for your own monitor's bones, they aren't too fat ( compared as if you fed it canned dog food, which should only be for a monitor dying from starvation an needing some immediate weight gains... ), they still have less proteins than insects but their also cheaper... For my sav, i feed appropriate sized rats every three days and snails, occasionnal chicken or other meat, rarely goldfish and i've defenetly stopped with the dog food, which i gave once in a few months because it's starting to be a little fat, ill need to adjust my feeding schedule...

I was just going to say pinkies pinkies pinkies all the way (exactly for the reason stated above) for the most part, of course alternate with feeder fish (that you've fed), crickets, king worms, or small crayfish even. My nile loves fish from the grocery store too as a treat -Rainbow trout, or a big salmon tail whatever, that's the nice thing about him, not too picky as long as its meat!
