Emergency!

[Jessicak]

I'm sure it's not too unusual, but I got my tegu on Friday and he still hasn't eaten for me. If offered raw egg, hard boiled egg, a pinky, some chicken gizzards. He won't eat anything I've offered. Not even crickets or roaches

Hibernate season it can be...mine too so

 

[Jessicak]

He has been sleeping....

 

[cihan yak]

Mine eats sometimes example a little in a day one or two

Give him a few days to adjust. Tegus do not, do not, like change.

 

[Jessicak]

I'm just worried because I've had him for a week and he hasn't eaten anything for me. I'm worried that he'll get hungry and aggressive

 

[Walter1]

Don't worry. Make sure hide box is at other end of where basking spot is.

 

[Jessicak]

Hey guys. He still hasn't eaten

 

[Walter1]

Well, if he can get hot enough to eat and cool enough to rest, and if his tail, back legs and hips aren't skinny, could be he wants to overwinter. Otherwise, a vet check would be a good idea.
