Feeding

    * Skinks are true omnivores, which should be reflected in their diet.

    * Variety is the key to providing a nutritious diet, and a calcium/vitamin D supplement should be added to the food.

    * Melissa Kaplan recommends a balance of about 60% vegetable/fruits and 40% meat items.

    * Vegetables/fruits: beans, summer or winter squash, carrots, parsnips, leafy greens. Can be shredded or pureed and added to meat portion of diet. Fruits can include strawberries, bananas, melon, etc.

    * Meats: low fat canned dog food is a good staple in the diet. This should be supplemented with other items such as superworms and pinkie mice (larger for adults).
