    Any ways to get veggies into the diet?

    He definitely picks and chooses what he wants out of his bowl. I've tried cutting back on the foods he likes and adding more new foods, he might pick up a piece but always drops it, takes what he wants and leaves the rest. His weight gain is great though and his old injuries have healed pretty...

    Any ways to get veggies into the diet?

    I'll try with a spoon, my male knows the food bowl very well now, he will run me over to get to it. I'm sure he can be trained pretty easily. my female hasn't recognized food time yet though, she is an extremely cautious eater.

    Any ways to get veggies into the diet?

    That's basically what I've been doing, once they figure out its there they drop it and roll it around, then go back to napping lol. They won't look sideways at dubia either, Ive been breeding the roaches, but they're a 5lb female and 10lb male, I figured they might be too small for them to...

    Any ways to get veggies into the diet?

    I've been trying to get more veggies into the diet of these two... but they arnt having it. I've tried offering plain veggies, various kinds, and I've tried mixing it into chicken and turkey meatballs, but they both spit it back out... Any ideas, aside from stuffing their whole prey with it...

    I just love her! She is a wild caught but sooo sweet and gentle. Meanwhile my captive bred boy has left me with nail marks all over lol. Hes getting heavy though.

    Broke down and got another...

    She's just a little sweetheart. And as tiny as she looks she is the same length as my boy, which just amazes me. He caught a look at her while i was getting her set up and I thought the poor boy was going to hyperventilate. Sending out as many signals as he could.

    Recovered my tegu

    Me too. I'm not so sure I want to put him back on the baytril though, he just finished it and I don't like doing back to back like that. (I kind of hate giving injections too). His symptoms arnt too bad, occasional odd noises coming from him but overall not too worrisome. I'll see if there is...

    Recovered my tegu

    His previous owners didn't have him in a good setup. Once I got him he went straight to the vet. He had a pretty minor r.i. which I was giving him injections for. His breathing has definitely gotten worse since he's been out. I guess it could be just more issues from poor care.

    Recovered my tegu

    He's clearly pretty miserable being back with me haha. Sounds like his R.I has started up again, so he is off to the vet again. He was dehydrated, reopened his face wounds and has a few minor problems. But he's calmed down. Stopped eating again, but he still looks pretty plump so we should be...

    Stuck tegu problem, need help

    Still under there. Trying to get him out of his hiding spot with some water, then herd him around with some nets and things. Weirdo Hates water, unlike my others. No interest in the food, of course, it's difficult to get him to eat as it is. Going to buy some gizzards or liver, cod liver...

    I'll try it all, lol. As long as I get him out of there.

    Stuck tegu problem, need help

    If I cant draw him out I may have to noose him tomorrow. The concrete down there makes it impossible for me to reach his sleeping spot. He's a picky eater too, so hopefully the foods I offered he is always after but I don't let him have are enough to get him out. Save us both some stress.
