    Could she be impacted?

    Alright, I'll order some hare-today ground meat, and some small rats. Thank you so much for all the help, I know I ask a lot of questions, I'm just very anal about stuff like this... Again, thank you very much!

    Could she be impacted?

    Alright, and since there are bones in the ground meat I wouldn't have to use calcium supplements, correct? Would I need to supplement anything at all?

    Could she be impacted?

    I'll take some pictures in the morning, she's asleep right now. [hr] Alright guys, thanks for all your help, I'm going to get a few pounds of the whole ground animal from hare-today, some small rats, and try to get some canned pumpkins to mix in, however, I am still wondering something, should I...

    Could she be impacted?

    Would whole ground animals from Hare-today be alright? I figure that it would be quicker and easier to prepare than cutting up frozen rats. Willing to do either, just wondering which you would think is best, and better for her

    Could she be impacted?

    Just the fact that she's passing urates, but I havent seen her poop since the prolapse, and that she still is a little bloated [hr] Sprinkle some supplement on top, a fine white layer, mix it in, then I sprinkle some more on top. I'm going to give her some raspberries and cooked green peas if...

    Could she be impacted?

    She's in a 6 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft, cypress mulch, the last time I physically saw her poop was when she had her prolapse, however, there was some urate in her cage today that wasn't there last night, so I think sometime this morning. Since she's brumating I'm only feeding her when she comes up and...

    Could she be impacted?

    Hey guys, so basically, here's what's happened so far. Around 2 weeks ago, my 10 month old Argentine B&W tegu had an anal prolapse, when she woke up from sleeping for a few days. Normally I feed her when she wakes up, but as she was basking, she crawled off her rock, started to do the butt...

    New tegu!

    Hey guys, been prowling the forums for awhile, asking the occasional question, and recently I just bought an Argentine B&W, we think she's around 8 months old, and she is extremely tame for only having her for 4 weeks. I decided that now would be a good time to introduce her, since she's all...

    Buried herself?

    Alright, any special preparations I need to make for her? And any way to stop/shorten hibernation?

    Buried herself?

    Hey guys, last Sunday, I bought my first Tegu at a Reptile Show up in Orlando, I'll do an introduction for her when I actually get pictures.. Basically, she's buried herself underneath her substrate, and will not leave. I've been using the t-shirt in cage method, and on Monday my dad saw her...

    Additional Vitamins/supplements?

    Grats on 1000th post, lol. Yea, feeding whole prey is definitely easier... If you don't mind me asking, what is your feeding schedule like WITH whole prey?

    Additional Vitamins/supplements?

    I'm not going to be feeding him/her the Cod liver oil everyday, twice a week I will feed the tbsp/lb mixture of Turkey, do you still think that I need to cut back? And I will add more Calcium, should I add any vitamins such as reptivite or other vitamin supplements? If so, how often? Thanks for...
