hello all to start5 off ill say this is my first tegu (ARG B&W) its about 5 weeks old and I've had it sence 1pm 06/18/2016 i don know the sex. but what concerns me is that it hasn't pooped yet from what i can find but it eats like theres no tommorrow and seams to be active, but i also have yet to see it drink or see evidence of drinking from the water dish.
any help would be much appreciated
thank you

If he's eating after three days you've done your homework sir . He sounds healthy as can be. If your really worried about him drinking, you can lightly dip the dip of his head into the rim of his water dish and see if he starts to drink. This is what I do with snakes to help them find there water. Can I see pics? I'm curious lol.

another thing I'm not too sure on is how much to feed him, so far I feed him 2 times a day with as many calcium dusted crickets as he wants and an occasional blue berry.

Let him eat his fill each day. Vary the food. A mix of things.This is grow time for him.
