Tegu eating mulch/poop!???

[Tegudude88]

I just walked in on my tegu trying to eat a mulch crap that I don't know how he got out of him

He was tying to eat his poop. You have a very nice looking tegu!

that eats his poop.

Aha well thank you
The part that bothered me was that the poo was mostly mulch and quail feathers and when I picked it up he started chasing my hand

He is probably picking food up from the cage floor. If the food is leaving residue in the bedding. he probably smells the residue and eats the wood chips.

Use peat like me and dubya and he'll eat mudpies instead no big scary chunks
