Extra protien... I always up the protien intake of any of my rodents during pregnancy and rearing of young to make it easier for them to produce enough milk. And my boys get the odd treat of a bug from time to time, too

I think something that is a bit more active (like a locust) is good enrichment for them, as well.

I used to give my African pygmy mice live locusts... Can you imagine a tiny rodent catching something as big as they are?

all the left over crickets, meal worms, waxworms and locust get given to my rodents (nothin get wasted in this house), apart from my pygmy mice as the crickets are bigger than them lol so i dont know who would eat who lol

i buy extra bugs for my dormice tho they have a tub every night plus everythin else they eat so much for the size of them
