We have male b&w, he is a year old n we have had him for almost a month. He is a very happy friendly guy, willing to explore n check everything out, not aggression towards other reptiles or animals, (we have 3 bearded dragons, 3 geckos, 3 snakes, 2 dogs n a bird, lol, we bought a zoo!!)
His tank is 72x18x24. His temps are 93f with 30% humidity. But he won't eat!! We did our research before we got him, actually planned his arrival for almost a yr before we got him. The person we got him from said he fed f/t mice every other day. Research said its OK but better that he have a mix of fruit veggies n real meat. So we did up collard greens w endive, some mandarins oranges w shredded butternut squash, Raspberry's and shredded mango along w some chicken hearts n livers and coated all this w raw egg. Still wouldn't eat. Tried the mice again, wouldn't touch them. Finally put a mouse in his mouth n he would chew n swallow, he had three this way. Ugh so fusterated. Can they go into hibernation? The room he is in is only about 68f, and he is next to a gecko? I don't want a sick tegu, some ideas pls.
Thanks
