I have a large male black and white tegu and he has not eaten in 5 days. today I tried to force feed him and could only get him to eat a little bit. He has done this before when he though it was breeding season but that was only for 3 days. Do I need to see a vet? He is 3.6 feet and I have been feeding him ground turkey, grapes, bananas, and live baby rats and hopper mice on occasion. He will not eat frozen.

I guess he was having mouse cravings because I gave him some live mice today and I could barly get them in the pen.
