Oh, man! You fed him a mouse? Bummer...

You ALMOST had him. ALMOST!!! He's obviously got a preference for mice...you're gonna have to let him get hungry enough to eat other things (like that piece of liver you offered that he was considering eating the other day).

I know it's hard to sit back and not feed your tegu...trust me, I know. BUT, had you held out just a bit longer, you might've been able to flip your tegu to other food sources other than mice (which can and have caused digestion issues).

Unless you get your tegu to eat other things, you're probably going to wind up in the same situation as before--I truly hope not though.

Good luck with everything!
