As of now my guy doesn't react at all when I put food in the cage he doesn't even bat an eyelash . He even won't go after it for like 20 min then eventually he moves slowly over to the plate and eats. Still I would like to get him on a regular feeding schedule outside of his cage. The crappy...
So you guys are suggesting that I feed him outside of his enclosure even if I have to dig him out of his cave when I get home ? This morning he was awake but still I didn't have enough time to feed to wrestle around and get him calm so I could move him to his feeding tote so I just have him a...
Yah I totally know what you mean Kritter... The only thing keeping me from trying it everyday now is the fact that Im always in a rush when I work morning shifts. Maybe I will just have to wake up earlier and see if he's up to try and feed him in his box.
**Update** For the past few days since the incident Reptar has been running to his cave whenever I open the cage or hiding from me when I move stuff around in his cage. Today like everyday once again I opened the cage to try and pet him and instead of running he rapidly licked my fingers and let...
Yeah they certainly do remember everything. Now when I try to pet him he runs into his cave and hides lol damn this sucks. I was hoping my guy wouldn't be one of the difficult ones. I'm so jealous of everyone else's great stories ! Lol I just wanna hang out with my little guy you know ?!?!?

Hmm ok when will I know that I can start taking him out of the cage ?

I really thought I was doing good with him but ya the signs do show he gets pretty stressed if I pet or try and lift him up. He's fine when I'm messing around in his cage though
Rough day with Reptar *sigh*
So frustrating ! So this is my second consecutive day of try to take him out of his enclosure to eat. He huffed a little but let me take him out of his cage but once I lowered him to the feeding box he jet around my living room (behind counters and couches) I was...
Quick question on handling. I have decided this week ( my 3rd week of having my Tegu) I will actively try and take my tegu out to feed him in his bin and bath him. My only issue is he stresses whenever I start to lift his screen only thing he does is breath very heavy and back up slowly if I try...
