Yogurt??

[sclevenger08]

So, I was sitting in the floor eating yogurt watching my tegu crawl around and explore, I had to get up for something and sat my yogurt cup on the floor, when I turned around the cup had fallen over and he had his head in the cup licking up the yogurt. Question 1..Why? I thought little dudes didn't like much fruit in their diet? Plus, its yogurt. Question 2...Will this hurt him?

Thanks

1, I would say because it smells so sweet, and they are curious, and 2, I doubt it would hurt them, but I wouldn't feed it as more than a treat.

Yogurt as a treat is fine and is somewhat even good for them too as most has added calcium and fruit.
My guys enjoy a treat of red berry type fruits but hate and veggi type stuff and almost fell out of my seat when the blue tegus destroyed a plate of strawberries and blueberries since everything I ever read on them suggested meat eater only.

Thanks guys. I'll maybe give it to him as an occasional treat, it was strawberry banana and he seemed to really enjoy it. lol. Ya, I see that a lot, that they are meat eaters, then other people say fruit as well.
