Yes, I feed a hopper, sometimes two a week. Then I give him greens and Phoenix worms daily. I was making the point that a thing of Phoenix worms lasts a week or so, they live longer, and don't stink. They are also much cheaper rather than going through a bunch of crickets for one dragon.

Should I be doing more?

you only feed pinkies when you going to breed your dragons. if your not theres no reason to do it. it doesnt hurt your dragon it just helps them faten up. i feed my females pinkies in the breeding season.

I am just wondering why people want to feed them to their dragons
It's a bad and unhealthy idea. Insect fat is mostly unsaturated, whereas the fats in mammals are saturated.

I dont know about no smell, get a few thousand going...They have a definite odor but is usually contained with in their tote.


I dont care much for pinkies for various reasons, frozen or live. Some breeders will use them for females while gravid or after, but there are definitely better food sources whether as a treat or a staple.
