I agree that variety is good. However, plants do not provide more energy than fat. Remember that everything that is needed to live is in that pinky. Once you cook it then the proteins and nutrients change form and some vital building blocks are destroyed. If carnivores eat plants alone, then...
It says no additives "100% rabbit". Quite frankly I would rather just feed him pinkies.....he love them. But everyone says not to feed him too many. Seems like the perfect food to me. Can I get away with just pinkies and crickets, because that would make him so happy.
Seems silly that pinkies...
Well another week has gone by. Measured him this morning and he is now 14 inches long. Still very healthy and happy. Ate 5 pinkies this week (he really likes those things). Also got him some "100% canned Duck", and rabbit. It is meant for dogs, but has nothing added......just ground up animal...
Those of you who are saying that you do not use substrate.....what do you put in the cage? My cage has a substrate area (orchid bark) and then a divided out non-substrate area (tile and brick). I feed him in the area where there is no substrate.
How do you know if they get impacted? How do you...
I just got a baby (hatchling) a couple of weeks ago. For those of you interested, I will post his size over time so new Tegu owners can know what to expect.
When I got him he measured 10.5 inches. He ate 1 pinky, egg, some shredded vegetables, hamburger, turkey burger, ham, and salmon.
Exactly...
I thought mine had a leg twitch too. However, I see you have the same bricks that I have in my cage. Does the "twitch" only happen when he is on the bricks? Mine did, and I found out that it is his little toe nails getting stuck in the pores of the brick. So he "twitches" it a little to break...
I am a research scientist and have to try to explain to people all the time that inbreeding is only bad if the parent genes are bad. Two parents with identical genes, and having "perfect genes" will produce a "perfect" offspring. It is hard to convince all of the knuckleheads out there who...
I just bought a hatchling from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.teguterra.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.teguterra.com</a><!-- w --> This thing is healthy as a horse and so nice. He has not tried to whip me and lets me pick him up without trying to get...
I just got my hatchling today and he wants to bury himself. Do you think he is going to try to hibernate already? He doesnt want to eat, but maybe he is still stressed from the plane.
Hey Tanman, most people that will reply to you are not from Cali. They all say to get cypress mulch. However, they do not sell it in Cali. This is an area that I have been trying to figure out for a while. I have a large indoor cage (6'X3') and the eco bricks are hella expensive. I am trying to...
These are all good ideas. I might just have to wait a while until some kind of character comes through. Does anyone actually have one that comes when you call it? If they really do this then I will need a name that doesnt sound like a common word. I wonder how it will get along with my dogs? We...
My baby is coming next week :app and I need a name for him. Any ideas. I was going to go with Walter, but now I am leaning toward Tank. He is coming from two very white parents, so I think he will end up with a white head and lots of white on body. My wife likes snowball
