    How old is Chubbs

    I see i guess that's just the risk you take not buying directly from a breeder, but i wouldn't trade him he's a good tegu. Thanks for the help.

    How old is Chubbs

    Well it took him a while to answer. This is what he said " Uhh a tegu that size umm should be about 4 months old". He could be right I just wanted a second opinion ya know since there are some experienced people on this forum.

    Chubbs the tegu: the taming

    Hello, I have a month old tegu named Chubbs. I have had him for only a week now. He is very docile and he used to tail whip but doesn't anymore. He lets me pet his back and will crawl onto my arm when in stick in his enclosure. However he won't let me pick him up. Also once he is outside his...

    Chubbs eating a mouse

    Thank you for your concern. Next time i'll feed him in a plastic tub. If I ever feel like he will be stressed out i'll feed him without a crowd. Also the mouse looks bigger in the video than it really was.

    Chubbs eating a mouse

    Thank you for understanding. I didn't mean for it to come off as gladiator style but when your dealing with live feeding with any animal it will seem gladiator like because the mouse has no chance to escape unlike in the wild. IMO I think live feeding keeps the animal stimulated by letting it...

    Chubbs eating a mouse

    I assure you that chubbs is in good care, end while you may not agree with the way I fed him I think it is a little too far to say what i did was "irresponsible". Next time i i won't feed him on the table just to make sure he doesn't fall off and get hurt. If you have any tipsor ideas I'll be...

    Chubbs eating a mouse

    1.Well naturally i would feed him at school, I am a student since he is a school pet. I am the person that takes care of him. 2. He was perfectly safe and the students knew what not to do. 3. I'm not even going to get into the live vs ft debate but this mouse was a perfect size. He did swallow...

    Chubbs eating a mouse

    Yea I know not to feed him in his enclosure. I don't want him to get food aggressive. I couldn't find a container to feed him in. But no worries everything was under control. [hr] I'm glad you enjoyed! i'll try to post more later on

    Chubbs eating a mouse

    What's irresponsible about it? The mouse did not hurt him in any way. Also he swallowed it even though you don't see that in the video. It was a good feeding. I didn't buy him mice just to watch him eat. This is not for my entertainment.
