My chart says:

Wheat grass feed occasionally
Ca:P 1:1
Protein: 25.0%

Very nutritious for reptiles.

*the Ca:P represents the ratio of calcium to phosphorus.


:) So I guess its good :) I will try it too! :)

If you get no joy from your skink, it'll make a good food for snails/locusts/roaches or crickets if you keep them, maybe other live feeders to.

Leigh, I read this so badly. My first 2 reads I thought you meant if your skink doesn't make you happy, feed it to the bugs?! That was kinda scary. :D
