Half A Pinkie?

[Penny'sMommy]

My leos are a bit small. Under 40g females. But that's
not my current concern, can I cut a frozen baby mouse that is
2-8 hours old in half and feed 1 half mouse to my leopard
geckos once per week?

I breed feeder/pet mice so expense is not a concern.

Yuck, why not just feed a newborn mouse? Live? Isn't once a week a little too often? Just wondering...

I use half pinks for very small snakes sometimes, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a gecko as well. I don't know about the frequency however.

LOL. I don't want them to get impacted by eating a whole
pinkie once a week so I thought half was a good solution...

I've got the guts, :main_laugh:

Pinkies are basically all fat and cartilage. They're not healthy at all. Feeding with properly gut-loaded feeder insects is much better for your geckos.
