    Timing

    I wake them up. I always have from the start. They don't seem to care

    Timing

    I work 80+ hours per week for my job. Most of my interaction with my gu's comes late at nightingale after their lights have gone out (8pm). They seem happy and healthy to me! Matt

    Moving to different state

    When taking mine in the car I just place them in a large duffle bag with a few towels inside for them to bury in. Keeps them totally happy. Occasionally take them out for interaction on the road to keep them entertained but I would be careful. My gu's are very chill and don't panic/run.

    Enclosures

    It was my boa's cage before I got my tegus. Yes I built it and I will post some more pictures later this evening.

    Tegu´s behavior is getting worse.. Help!

    Take out the majority of places for her to hide in he cage except for some of your used laundry. This is a trick that works well with animals other than tegus as well. They learn to not fear your scent and can even associate it as a sign of safety. It's not a cure-all for your situation but it...

    New Tegu Owner Diet Questions

    I have ordered from hare-today twice and have been pleased with the results both times. The 10lbs minimum might seem like a lot but having two hatchling tegus, they went through it quite quickly. All I did was cut up the blocks of meet into hockey puck sized discs when still frozen, wrap in wax...

    New Tegu Owner Diet Questions

    Well from hare-today, you get whole prey, in ground form as snakecharmer said above. Minimum order is 10lbs. It took my 2 hatchlings about 6 months to go through that (I feed rodents and quail additionally). I say just get 10 lbs of whe prey ground meats and see what your tegu likes. None of it...

    Always feeding dead prey

    Mine wouldn't eat any dead insects in the beginning. I started with a diet of mainly crickets (the tegus choice, not mine) and gradually converted them over to raw whole-animal ground meats. I did this by coating the crickets in the ground meat at first. The tegu would eat the cricket and get...

    Summer 2013 Blues

    I have a few promising leads that I am pursuing. In the meantime, we finally felt comfortable introducing the gu's to our year old female beardie. Constant supervision of course. Roz now weighs about 1000g and Dex is around 850. Matt
