NO, please do not feed them any kind of animal protein at all. It is very taxing on their kidneys and I heard that it can cause aggression in them as well. Milton, you have been on this forum for a while now. Please listen and not only read here but inform yourself as much as you can which means never stop reading. People in pet stores are out to make a buck. most are very uninformed especially when it comes to anything of the exotic specie.

Just stick to his good staple veggies and greens :)

You’re welcome Milton. Only animal protein is bad not plant protein that you would find in say, alfalfa.

Have a good night
