after about 3 weeks or longer my tegu finaly ate! i tried everything, i thought he was trying to hibernate?! he still could be! i was trying everyday 2 offer him diffrent foods and insects but nothing would work, then 2day i cleaned his tank, and tryd a new substrate. i think its eco earth/coco fibre brick, i put him in his new clean viv then added some small hoppers/locusts, he ate about 4!
i have come to the conclusion that tegus are slightly blind or use there tongue for sight rather than there eyes as i think its because the locusts show up white against the dark eco earth.
he has never tryd locusts before, hopefully this has sparked his appetite.
if anyone could give me some appetite/feeding tips please feel free.
also if anyone knows more about there eye sight please feel free to educate me.
