Ok, I am a dood and sometimes I do not sugar coat things. A nice "alternative" would be one whole prey a day and then mix in whatever other food you choose to feed after that. Whole prey has everything a tegu needs to stay healthy. What I am really trying to get at is why waste so much time trying to prepare this and that to alternatively maybe get your tegu all the nutritional needs elsewhere? Loki used to like fish, now he does not. Loki used to like scallops, now he does not... Things change. If shes not eating dangle a rat in front of her face, I bet you shes hungry then...You can buy rats/quail frozen online but unless your buying like 500 of them after 50 dollars in shipping its not really worth the money I would rather buy from my local pet store fresh. I sometimes go to the local feed store and see when they have fresh chicks in, or look on craigslist. Problem is chickens grow really fast! So I only buy them so often...
