Ive been trying to find some for a couple weeks. thanks for info on the 2nd pinky, i know they are supposed to only have one like every two weeks like twice a month. i just figured that it was so small it would be ok. it was literally the size of a large cricket.
Well see the size isn't always the issue. You fed her large crickets yes? They can't digest the crickets heavily armored heads and with that combined with 2 pinky mice is a recipe for constipation although not full on impaction, but she may have required help to pass the mouse and cricket combo.
I just recently helped a member with their frog who accidently was fed too many pinky mice in one sitting. You should only offer the pinky mice as a treat preferably once a month due to how much fat they contain. They are nutritious and are a complete meal all wrapped into once tiny bite sized morsel, but can sometimes be difficult to pass.

You may be able to find night crawlers at Wal Mart if you have one near you. Make sure they contain no dyes or chemicals. They should say on the container.
