Feeding

Blue Tongues are omnivores, meaning they eat plant and animal matter. Their diet should consist of about 60% plant and 40% animal. A common meal for the captive skink is a salad with mixed veggies. However, they will occasionally need some kind of animal matter to eat such as: small earthworms, Zoophoba larvae and pupae, fuzzies and crews. Hatchling skinks benefit from being fed mealworms, redworms, small crickets, and pinkie mice. If you wish to treat your lizard it is found they are very fond of berries and other fruits.
