my older tegu is about 6 but with tegus life expectancy being anything from 10 to 20yrs you could have an old man tegu or one only half way through its life. My tegu stop wanting live pray long before this, my male will not kill a mouse, but a already dead mouse is eaten with no problem. That being said a diet can be made for a tegu that does not include whole prey items, its not my favorite route but really with any animal their diet has to be tailored for them.

With that you are feeding you need somthing with more calcium in it, simply adding chicken necks will really help make this a well rounded diet.
