U can feed your Tegu not necessary whole prey. That is just another miss conception about feeding captive animal. If you prefer whole prey that good and if u prefer chicken, meat, fruit, veg is that is good too. I don’t personally feed my Tegu live prey just because u don’t know where it came from nor what kind of parasite and deseases may have contracted from other animal or human. It may not be deadly for human but it is for Tegus. Out in the wild is the life of Tegus is different. Their immune to survive out in the wild. But Tegu in captivity is different.
