I like Dexter! Not just the name, but the character. He does what many of us would love to do. Too bad there isn't a vigilante out there now. Too many people have been getting away with some heinous ****.

Ok. So after 3 days of adding suppliments, Dozer finally ate food. Turkey mixed with beef liver, herpavits, and calcium spray. His twitching isn't that bad thank the gods. But any twitching makes me nervous.

Can you get some chicken necks? I just picked some up this weekend and my tegu devoured them. They are supposed to be very calcium rich as well.

Just a Thought Her From My Own Experiences with Colombians,
But Try Cutting Out The Liver From The Diet,
But Keep The Calcium And Multi-Vitamins Along With The Turkey,
The Reason For This Is Colombians Can Twitch From To-Much Iron
Basically It is Like An Iron Overdose. . .

Hope This Helps. . .

I would cut the herpvite to no more than twice weekly. But keep up with the calcium on every meal that does not have bones. The spray is calcium and not Vit D, right?

I started feeding chicken necks after reading about it on this site. They can be hard to find, though. One store told me that only the stores that cut their own chickens have the necks. I bought turkey necks but the bones are too large and passed through. Cutting them can be a pain. My big tegus can slurp down the chicken necks pretty easily, but the little guys have to have them chopped up.

I've also gotten turkey necks before. Guru was still itty bitty so I had to pull the meat off it and cut it up really small. Now they everyones larger I'm probably going to get them again when thanksgiving comes around.
