What are the benefits of feeding mice to my herp?
For carnivorous herps, a diet consisting partially or completely of mice is going to be the most natural diet that is closest to what they would eat in the wild. Commercial reptile foods are not always balanced and nutritionally complete, and there have been no long-term trials to verify that they can maintain our herps as well as mice and other prey animals can. Additionally, some commercial diets may cause certain herps to grow too quickly or too slowly and can lead to nutritional deficiencies. A true carnivorous diet is the healthiest option.
