i was just wondering i know you can feed fresh fish to my tegu if there hungry after they rat and veggies but could i feed his tined tuna in brine or is the brine not good for them i could get tuna and cod liver oil or sunflower oil aswell[/b]

Yes you can feed fresh fish... I feed my Tegu both live fish (2~5" Cichlids) and fillets from the grocery store...

I believe it would be fine to feed your Tegu tined (caned) Tuna... I would avoid overfeeding brine, but I do not believe a small amount would have any ill effects...

Cold Liver Oil, as well as fish in general, is known to be healthy for a Tegu's skin and aids in shedding. Sunflower Oil may work just as well. I'm not familiar enough with the differences to know, and because of that I would stick with the Cod Liver Oil...

Are asking about canned tuna? As far as brine shrimp i see no problem with feeding them fresh, although i dont think they get big enough for a tegus interest, i feed my tegus the jumbo shrimps(raw)
