Sheding

[dorton]

Enlighten me. Did you rub it on him or give it to him orally?? I'm guessing rubbed but you said it helped in defecation?? We've rubbed on olive oil to stuck shed on their feet.

It is added to the ground turkey, and fed once a week.

Thanks, I was curious myself!

Heck I thought you were rubbing it on them. LOL

No it has to be given orally. A tablespoon in or on the food. In the turkey and on the rat. When i feed my tegu a rat I place the rat in a container a pour the tablespoon of liver oil on the rat. Close the container, shake it a serve..

Maybe I need to get me a shot of it then. I may have to try that with some smaller lizards . Do you think it would bother say a gecko. I've got one that just won't shed good no matter what.

OOH!! That could be messy! I feed them their rodents in a bowl in the kitchen like a dog. They tend to play with their food and throw/drop it a few times.

Every day or once a week?

I love how they look like little gloves! LOL

Good information to try in the future if ever needed. Glad your girl is doing good.

I finally found cod liver oil at GNC. Man that stuff is hard to find!! It's mostly in capsule form. One drug store had the liquid in mint flavor. I didn't think the Tegu's would appreciate mint flavor.

They had it in capsules and liquid at walamrt here.

Wal-Mart only sells capsules up here. Maybe it's more of a "Southern" thing?
