Everything i've read about feeding mice is if you are going to do it, limit it to one a month, i use gut loaded locust's as a staple diet sometimes mixed in with a cricket or two.

I don't know about everyone else but I've never given pinkies to mine and I've had him almost a year. He's as healthy and greedy as any other.

He gets a varied diet mind, but generally just lives on locust, butterworms, black crickets, earthworms and sometimes waxies.

edit: Yeah obviously gut-load them and make sure to use multi-vitamin powder. I use the White's tree frog stuff.
