I feed my 8 year old female pinky or fuzzy mice once in a long while. But, I feed her Reptomin most of the time. I use to feed her pink cubes of moist turtle food that smelled like fish when I just got her and hand fed her. I don't remember what that was called. She loves earthworms. Mealworms and crickets have shells/exoskeletons and some of that comes out in the frog waist so i don't give them to her.
