Thanks I think I'll try your method.

I'm so worried about messing this up... After failing with my other tegu and having a BTS die on me (he had a birth defect), I've felt I've had no luck with lizards and I just don't want something bad to happen to this guy. Both the BTS and red hardly ate and constantly hid so it makes me nervous when Jaeger refuses a meal and hides. I understand that's normal for a new baby but it's stuck in the back of my mind that this is what he'll be doing constantly.

I'm terrified of letting him hibernate because when my red did that, she never came back out. She just constantly hid from then on.

Today he refused food and did his weird flipping out so that made me kind of depressed and nervous.

I'm real emotional about lizards apparently...
