feeding patterns

[CuriousTegu760]

Well my tegu has been acting up with her feeding habits usually i feed her once a day 7 times a week.

But lately for about a week she has been going without eating for 2 to 3 days and hasnt been pooping unless she ate something the day before. She has been doing urates tho.

This has happen before like a month or 2 ago and i considering to take her to a vet to check for parasites. But then she started to eat everyday all sudden.

So what im wondering is it like a feeding pattern and should just waited it out again? or should i take action and do something about it?

Thanks guys

First thing that comes to mind is, are your basking temps where they need to be?

It sounds like there are days where your tegu has a big meal or two in a row and perhaps the next day or two is still digesting the large meal. If its full it won't eat.

Is it getting exercise? Are you letting it roam a bit? This will burn some of those calories off.

Everything sounds fine though.

Ya basket temps are usually between 95 to 105 degrees and the cool temp between 70 to 85.

The foods i feed is ground turkey, chicken, sometimes steak, mice/quail, eggs, and cow liver.

Yes she does roam around alot i mean alot haha she always wants out her cage so i let her out to roam around
