New Tegu will only feed in its enclosure

[brianratm]

The good news is my Tegu is starting to feed (not much of an appetite, but at least it is eating). The thing is, it was only eat in its enclosure. I've tried a seperate eating tank, but is just wants to get out of it and has no interest in the crickets or other food. It has showed no aggression whatsoever. Any suggestions

Maybe try cutting a hole in the side of a rubbermaid and put the food in there? Leave the lid off so there is light inside it. That might help get it used to eating in a bin. Then slowly trying moving the bin with him in it onto the ground?

Other then that I have know clue other then possibly sectioning off a feeding area only in the cage.
