Bump bump bump. Page 4, third post from the bottom, has a PDF that can be printed

Question about mice: how often should you feed them say two or three fuzzies at a time? That being a diet with calcium without D3 dusted turkey as a staple, with some ground beef, beef liver, all with a bit of cod oil.

 

[Rhetoric]

I think its your preference. Some members feed their tegus a diet that is almost completely whole prey. Other members feed their tegus whole prey once a week. I have not (yet) seen anyone having issues with doing it either way. I started off doing whole prey once a week, I am now doing it ~3x a week. The main concern would be passing all of the fur, fuzzies aren't as furry as an adult rat lol but something to consider down the road.

I didn't feel like copy and pasting this time so I'm just bumping it also,.. Why is this not a sticky?

 

[Rhetoric]

A thought on feeding fish. I feed my youngster tilapia and trout, tilapia because it is inexpensive and trout because I can catch it. I chop up the fish after scaling them. I chop them fine so I can include the smaller rib bones in very small pieces.
Just a thought. :idea:

Awesome list ... and to have it in PDF for a noob like me is above and beyond of you. Thanx very much i`ll refer to it daily. So far i`ve only been feeding him turkey balls but have some beef out for 2morrow.

Cheers,

John

I am soon to become a Tegu owner and have read through this food list and want to say THANK YOU! Great information. One question I had, that was asked earlier but never answered... when feeding boiled egg, do you give them the shell as well or not? We offer the shell to our birds for extra calcium so I wasn't sure if it would have the same affect with Tegu's or if it would cause problems.
