Hey people!
I bought my tegu after doing research and preparing for about a year... So I thought. Her name is Echelon and she's so frikkn sweet, I asked the reptile breeder all sorts of questions she told me what to feed her, how to hold her, she's 6mo and a tiny thing. I get her home I cut up some fruits but she wasn't interested, the next day I scrambled some eggs and she liked it she ate two small bites then refused the rest I was just so happy to watch her eat it satisfied me but all she wanted to do was sleep so I left her alone. After burrowing and sleeping for a whole day without drinking water, I was worried so I called a vet and she said no worries she's probably brumating. BRUMATING!?? WTH IS THAT!?? so I did more r
and read all about it and then I was at peace with it until I remembered. She ate the egg I fed her!! I'm so worried she'll get sick n pass so ... More research! I put her in warm water consistently, rubbing her stomach but she just goes right back to sleep, no stool no urate. I'm so stressed n afraid to lose her bc of my ignorance. What should I do??? Please help me.
