I was wandering if there is such thing as too much of beef liver and/or cod liver oil. I was thinking about mixing one pound of ground turkey with beef liver, and another pound of turkey with the cod liver oil.

The feeding schedule would look like:
Monday - ground turkey with beef liver
Tuesday - ground beef
Wednesday - roaches
Thursday - ground turkey with cod liver oil
Friday - ground beef
Saturday - roaches
Sunday - pinkey mouse

Does that look like a good spread, or is there something that I should change? I'm asking because I just re-read over Bobby's care sheet and it says he only feeds the liver once or twice a week. I didn't know if there was such a thing as too much beef liver and/or cod liver oil. And each serving of ground meats (turkey and beef) will have calcium (Zoo-Med Repti-Calcium without D3).

I also heard that it's bad to feed ground beef too much, maybe once a month. What are some thoughts on this?

I heard the same thing but I don't know what evidence there is to support it. Beef is a little harder to digest so that might have something to do with it.

I also don't feed any ground meats, only pieces of meat like gizzards, chicken breast, fish, mice, rats etc. It works really well for me and its alot easier to clean.

I was planning on throwing in some non ground meats when she gets a lil older.

Do you just go to the meat department at the store and ask for the gizzards and such, I didn't see them when I was at Publix last lol.
