I feed my 2 juvie Ackies their first Pinkie each this morning (which they took readily) ... How often do u feed pinks to Ackies? .. they get locusts, crickets and the odd waxworms as a stable food ... these are just a little extra ....
Cheers
Dan.

Hi dantro.
I usually feed mine a couple of pinkies 2 times a week
Although these are nearly fully grown.
I would feed them in your case twice a week with one pinkie and see how it goes.

i was told by an experianced ackie keeper that pinkies can cause obesity so you shouldn't feed them too foten, especially if you want to breed them as obese animas are less likely to breed just what i was told

Hi.
Try roaches, they love e'm and grow well on them too. i don't feed pinkies, but chop up larger mice which are better for them. if you cut them up when frozen, they don't make as much mess. i feed mice once a week.
