    I sifted through his substrate and found nothing. Nowhere he walks around has any either.

    tegu not pooping

    Hi, I bought a tegu last week and since I had him he has pooped once. He hasn't in about four days now and I'm getting worried. He has eaten five or 6 dead pinkies, a few slices of banana, about twenty dusted crickets, and a very small piece of pizza sausage since I got him. He is about 20...

    where to get a tegu

    The guy I bought mine from here in Madison I believe still has one baby bnw left. Very healthy. He will ship, but all together this would cost you around 250. I would go through Laura if I were you. She seems very knowledgeable and is very helpful.

    A Year on from time of order still NO TEGU

    Everybody gives him too much crap from what I have seen. I am sure he is a busy guy and if he hired someone else to take his calls and emails he would have to charge more. I haven't heard anyone complain on his quality, just of poor communication. I called him a month ago and he picked up and...

    feeding inside cage

    Hi, I am having problems getting my tegu to eat crickets inside his feeding bin. I have tried dusted and undusted and he isn't interested, but when put into his cage they are eaten immediately. He has no problem eating frozen mice or fruit in his bin. Any advice on what I should do?

    Detailed Feeding Schedule

    Hi, seems to me to be the wrong way to think having a feeding schedule with an animal that benefits from a varied diet. Tegus all like different things so just see what works. As long as you get him all the vitamins and calcium he needs I think you will be fine. Bobby hill covers feeding well in...

    New Tegu pics and B&W Diet ?'s

    [hr] Sorry my google chrome seems to act up with these forums. Maybe twice a week for the liver oil and turkey then? I have some calcium powder, he just ate 4 large powdered crickets and is sitting in my lap right now. He seems to like getting his head rubbed, he moves his head up when I do.

    New Tegu pics and B&W Diet ?'s

    Hi, do I need to be mixing ground turkey, beef liver, and cod liver oil all together or just use the oil and turkey, or liver and turkey? I want to make sure I have all this correct. [hr] BTW I have some pictures of him.

    New tegu, Very Happy

    I bought my new tegu yesterday and couldn't be happier with him. He seems to be already tame, almost. He came to my house around noon yesterday and I held him twice before he fell asleep around midnight. I woke up and he was up walking around his tank and he ate a pinky mouse and refused...

    first post newbie questions

    Yeah, I think these may actually be varnyard stock, but I'm not sure. I asked where he got them and he told me it was a a big breeder so maybe. I held one today and it was extremely calm, and I have no problem spending a little extra to support a local business I respect. Beautiful animal as...
