Hey everyone!

[Aasira's mom]

I received my baby black and white tegu yesterday and am IN LOVE! I have 4 other reptiles but Aasira is by far already my favorite. I’m not sure of her exact age. The breeder said 2 months?

She is eating insects well, loves crickets, dubias, and superworms but isn’t a huge fan of the BSFL. I’m dusting with calcium. I have with and without D3 and I’m not sure which to use or if I should alternate like I do with my other reptiles. Other than bugs, being so little, can someone make other food suggestions please? I’m using an Arcadia 12% UVB light along with basking light.

Two months old is right. Try frozen/thawed pinks dusted in calcium.

They love raw egg with crushed egg shell (I just crack it into a small dish or bowl), and my Tegu's fave food is raw ground turkey which is what I put the supplements in. My Skully won't eat or bother with bugs now at all... but he's about 2 yrs old. Good luck!!

Hi and welcome..... theres a great food list on the site just try anything from it.... just make sure the pieces are cut small enough to handle.
