Chubbs the tegu

[JkiddReptiles]

Hello guys I got a tegu from my local reptile shop, Pangea Pets in cutler bay fl. He's about a month old. He's a little skittish at first be calms down. In these pictures he was eating hard boiled eggs. I'll add more decorations later. His enclosure is 48in long by 28in wide. Can I feed him turkey franks (hot-dogs).Or is processed food a no no?

I just don't think hot dogs are very good for him, getground turky.

I would not do hotdogs ever. They sell ground turkey (wal-mart and most grocery stores) and it is fine to feed, and it is pretty cheap. You can get a little beef liver and add with that also, just make sure everything is safe size to eat.

Got it. Thanks guys!

I personally would stick to whole prey, but that's just me. Crickets, Roaches, Superworms, Hornworms, Mice, Chicks, rats and ripe fruits/veggies with occasional ground meat and meat scraps.

Processed food has a lot of sodium, nitrates, and nitrites in it.

So what fruits and veggies do your tegu's like? Biggin seems to only like the ground whole prey I feed (Rabbit,Turkey, Whole Quail, Mice, Dubias, Chicken, Duck ect.). I'd love to get some veggies and fruits in his system.

Is it bad that he only eats meats?
