Live button quail chicks for timor monitor

[SamanthaMarikian]

I was thinking about breeding button quails to feed the eggs to my pets and was wondering if chicks would be ok to feed live to a timor monitor? She can take down fuzzies just fine. She wouldnt be interested in the eggs

In my opinion feed frozen thawed as much as possible. I own snakes and only feed live to the snakes who absolutely will not take f/t. Its a more humane route for the prey animal and doesn't affect the nutritional value of the meal.

I know my ackie monitor and some others will eat hard boiled eggs or ground turkey. I dont see why a timor would not, but don't claim to be an expert with monitors.

They do that all the time. Culled chickens are their main diet in the tourist zones.

She doesnt eat anything that isnt alive, ive tried eggs, frozen thawed, and ground turkey. I’ve had her for three years
