    New baby tegu...Lethargic? Sleeping a lot? Sick?

    He seemed just kind of off when I brought him home, but within two days of bringing him home, he looked half dead already. I would say he declined extremely fast which is why we went to vet, but vet said that he was too far gone honestly and it was more humane to put him down

    Sorry to be so slow to update. We had to put him to sleep, he was just too far gone. The pet store in question refused to return my money or give me product that equaled to same amount and was only willing to give me another Tegu. Which I refused. I am hoping to soon be getting one from...

    His uncle is actually a horse vet that specializes in sports horses, horse acupuncture and massage therapy, and working with top race horses; so is directing us to a vet friend of his who is a lot closer thankfully. He isn't a herp speciality vet, but has connections to help us further if he...

    I was afraid that was the case. He wont eat the superworms, roaches, or red wigglers. I will have to pick up a pink at the store and try that since I dont have any litters, atm. Would it be too much on his system to try and add some GSE into the soaking water?

    New baby tegu...Lethargic? Sleeping a lot? Sick?

    I am new to owning tegus but I am not new to them. I have cared for them and nursed a couple sickly W.C. tegus in the past. I always liked them and knew I wanted one eventually so when I went to the reptile expo to look for another BP and saw the tegus, I was pretty sure I would leave with one...
