Raw egg ?

Postby DustinB32 » Mon May 05, 2008 5:14 pm

I've seen quite a few people on the the site feed their skinks raw egg. My skink is only a couple of weeks old. Is it ok to try and give him/her raw egg at such a young age or should I wait til he/she gets a little older?

I gave my guy egg at about 6 months.

be ready for the consequences of giving your guy egg if you do~
But a few weeks old seems a little too soon ya?~

Wait for the more experienced people to float on by~

When they're that young they aren't really consuming a lot of food by volume, so I would probably offer a more nutritious source of protein for the first few weeks. Maybe wait until your little one is a bit older and then offer the egg.

There is nothing wrong with feeding a bluey of ANY age raw egg. The only real thing you need to worry about is the size of the food you are feeding them as if they need to chew it or something to that effect - the morsels need to be smaller than their heads.

I will not be feeding raw egg again. One turn for Tattoo was enough. The liquid poop that shot out of him was terrible. He looked very uncomfortable and unhappy. It's cooked eggs from now on.

My Binx loves raw egg but the aftermath is really messy!!! Be very prepared for the liquid mess from your blueys behind oh and the smell isnt very pleasant either :lol:
