Hey all. I am probably jumping the gun but I just want to make sure I am well prepared. I am getting two tegus from Bobby's 09 clutch this summer and I have a couple of questions about food. I have seen the food list sticky (which is very helpful) but my questions deal more with method.
1. With hatchlings what portion size is appropriate? Do you feed until they are satisfied or allot a certain amount? Frequency?
2. I have read that all of the meat be served raw, is it alright to buy frozen pinkies, chicks, etc after they are thawed? Should I add calcium powder to that if so where can I get the calcium?
3. Is it best to feed insects live?
4. With beef and chicken does it need to be certain cuts or types?
If you can't tell these will be my first tegus. Thanks for the help.
