    What parts of 'game meats' are safe to feed to my Tegu?

    I believe they can eat acrambled or boiled eggs, but I'm 99% sure their meats need to be raw.

    What parts of 'game meats' are safe to feed to my Tegu?

    They can't properly digest cooked food though.

    What parts of 'game meats' are safe to feed to my Tegu?

    Hey guys! I have someone giving me unwanted bits from their hunting. I'm hoping someone can tell me what parts of a deer are safe to feed to my Tegu? He's giving me the liver, kidneys, pancreas, calves, and other pieces of meat that normally wouldn't get eatten by humans.

    Tips on how to give my Tegu oral medication?

    Thanks for all the tips guys! His swelling has gone down so he should be able to poop without his anus falling out. Fingers crossed!! This has been an expensive week for me with buying him, making his terrarium, and vet bills.

    Tips on how to give my Tegu oral medication?

    The right temperatures will help him digest and for the next few days he'll be having ground turkey. He could have been lacking calcium too. His previous owners didn't give him calcium supplements and didn't have a UVB bulb for him. I'm working on a way to keep his humidity and temperatures up...

    Tips on how to give my Tegu oral medication?

    I tried to restrain him but my boyfriend is no help in the matter, so that isn't much of an option. I'll try the egg yolk method. I think he passed whatever was clogging him up. He took a big dump on me yesterday while we were snuggling :confused: I think it was a large urate plug, I can't feel...

    Tips on how to give my Tegu oral medication?

    I tried moving it around his mouth but he's such a clever little guy that he just keeps his mouth shut! I was told that with the syringe near his face he might bite and latch on but he's not a biter, he's only threatened twice. Once when I first met him and yesterday when I thought it'd be a...

    Tips on how to give my Tegu oral medication?

    Hi guys! So poor little Chomper has to take stool softener for the next 5 days. Any recommendations on how to get him to take it? It's in a liquid form and they gave me a syringe to get him to take it. He loved it at the vet but this morning he just wouldn't have any of it.

    HELP! I think my tegu has a prolapse. Advise?!?!

    I took him into the vet. They waved the recheck fee for me. Looks like he's got something in his gut and it's making him prolapse from trying to push it out. They gave me stool softener for him.

    HELP! I think my tegu has a prolapse. Advise?!?!

    Hey guys! I just got my tegu on Thursday and Thursday night I noticed something sticking out of him. I was told it could be his hemipene from the person I bought him from and left it. I checked the next morning and it was still sticking out so I gave him a sugar bath. During that bath he took a...

    Don't use a heat pad. If he digs to the bottom and rests on it, it can burn him. I just wouldn't take the chance.

    Hello!!!

    Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself :) I just got my Argentine black and white Tegu on Thursday, he is 9 months old. I'm pretty sure he's a he since I can kind of see jowels already and I think he was flashing his ding dong at us the first few days he was here. His name is Chomer...
