What insect is generally a Blue-Tongued Skink's favorite?

Question

Answer 1

That depends on the skink.  Most I  know like crickets, but that may be just because it's what they've been fed most often.  I also know one that won't touch crickets - all she wants is mealworms.

But when deciding what to feed, it shouldn't be left entirely to what an animal prefers (just as people shouldn't have a diet made up only of pizza, ice cream, and candy).  The more variety you can give them, the better rounded the diet will be with a better mix of nutrients to keep them healthy, and they should have a good amount of plant matter in their diet as well.

Answer 2

It is hard to say what their favorite is.  They eat such a vast variety.  They eat grasshoppers, crickets, snails. And they will even eat mice if they are small enough.    I imagine also like all things they could all be different.  One might like crickets, and one might like mice more.  Also remember that they are omnivores, they eat fruits and vegetables as well.  and they should get some in their diet.

Answer 3

That is a hard question. Picture where they live in the wild, leaf litter and moist forest floors, I would say slugs or snails. My BTS seems to like the crunching involved with snails. But she is not very picky, although she won't eat mealworms of any size.
