They're not a good idea to feed even as a treat. They're extremely fatty and hard to digest. I have used them as a last chance effort to help an adult dragon (over 18 months) gain weight, but that is the only time I would ever give them to my dragons.

I dont even go that far anymore.
Pinkies are a case of what we KNEW 10 years ago compared to what we KNOW now.
90% of the pinkie gets stored in your dragons liver never to be used by the body. Over the course of time this will lead to fatty liver disease.
If you want to give your dragon a treat, go with a couple hornworms or silkworms.
