Rodent Diet?

[Guest]

if appears that my Extreme Giant tegu will only eat rodents and wax worms! He doesnt want, ground turkey, chicken livers, scrambled/fried/raw eggs, crickets, roaches, meal/super/silk worms, steak, ground beef, hamburgers, and anything green.

I've been told its bad for an all rodent diet, but its the only thing he'll eat! What are the cons/side effects of an all rodent diet? I still throw some calcium on it and some reptivite (both w/o D3) so anything helps!

Dont feed him for a good time... he will go for the turkey or w.e lol. My little guy was rejecting all food and seemed to be going into hibernation, it was 3 days and he hasnt had a bite of food so i decided to give him turkey, he ate 2 nice sized turkey balls Before that all he would want was pinkies.

Tegus will get spoiled with their favorite foods and will wait for it to become available. But as mentioned, if not offered a few days in a row they will take whatever is available...
