Ok just wondering because he wouldn't eat the eggs or his spinach and I don't have ground turkey right now. The eggs were boiled then I chopped them up so he could eat them he had two bites them walked off. Would scrambled be better? :huh:

Get some crickets, roaches, ground turkey, chicken gizzards/hearts, and try different fruits and greens.

What was the breeder feeding it ?

I have crickets and the breeder was feeding crickets, Horned worms, meal worms, super worms and ground turkey.

Try seafood too, in my experience they either love it or hate it

 

[james.w]

Oh yeah forgot about seafood, tilapia, whole raw shrimp, scallops, salmon.

For the sake of curiousity here, what exactly is 'shaved ham'? Is it the same as pulled pork, like what you use for BBQs? Also, to james, is ham/pork in general not good for tegus or is it just this type of ham that you avoid feeding?

 

[james.w]

Shaved ham is just thinly sliced ham.

I'm not sure if pork is ok or not, I think I remember hearing that pork is not good for them. Not 100% sure on this though.

If I'm not mistaken pork isn't very good for anything, but ESPECIALLY reptiles.. I wouldn't risk it.

no processed foods like cured meats. and I would lay off the spinach . Its a calcium binder.
