Question We got home today to find our golden skink has had two babies. We have NO idea what to do with them. Do we leave them in with the mother, and if so for how long? What do we feed them? Any help at all would be wonderful! Thanks!!
Answer Dear Lisa,
thank you for your question, I'm sorry I took so long to answer it!
You can feed the baby skins live prey, just like the mother eats (only smaller in size of course). Make sure they get enough calcium in their diet.
They should be seperated from their mother since she might try to eat them. Babies that grow noticeable slower than the others may have to be housed seperately, too.
I hope I was of some help to you
Jennifer
