Nasty Diarrhea Plz Help!

[maggies_tegu_92]

so the first day my tegu arrived she had soft stool not runny but kinda like a baby soft stool. now she has really smelly gross looking diarrhea...I have been feeding her canned tuna cat food along with watermelon blue berries, scrambled eggs, and turkey. is it just caused from what I am feeding her do I need to try and feed her maybe solid mice? or do you think she mat nee to get a culture doe on her stool from the vet? she still isn't eating a ton but I do catch her sneaking a few bites here and there. other wise she walks around the room or sleeps most the day unless we go outside. sorry for the gross picture but this is what she just had literally 5 mins a

go.

No sweat. It's the food you're feeding her that does it. You must provide a mjority of frozen/thawed mice. Preferably medium or adult, so with calcified bones and still with lots of nutrition.

Tegus sleep alot.

You're welcome. You're fine for now although be sure to add powdered calcium to that food.
