    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    Update for those who may be worrying about him: I have someone from this site coming to pick him up and rehome him tomorrow morning. I’ve force-fed him as much as I could and he’s now soaking in a warm bath, after which I’ll bring him back to his enclosure to let him rest before he’s picked up...

    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    I’m hoping to try and force feed him. He seems to like the blueberries so I was told to smear them over his other foods in hope that he eats it.

    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    So... I don’t know if this is healthy for him. But I was eating blueberries while feeding him eggs (except he’s not eating them and keeps shaking his head from side to side) and thought I’d let him try one. Now it looks like he’ll only eat his eggs if I give him a blueberry to go with it. Is...

    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    Well, to update you and whoever else might see this post, my friend wants to keep him despite having close to no money in the bank. I don’t have too much either, but I’m trying to use an amazon gift card to buy a UVB light for him as well as calcium powder. I’m currently feeding him hard...

    Thank you so much for the help and I’m sorry for the trouble. I’ll look into the reptile rescue and I just hope he’ll be ok. I’m so sorry

    So what you’re saying is the best thing for him is to be put down? I don’t know anyone with that kind of money I feel horrible I wish I could’ve helped him sooner I’m sorry

    We live in Rhode Island... I just can’t stand to see him like this. I was going to take him to my place but even then I have no money I don’t know how to take care of him and I have no space since it’s my grandmothers house.

    Please tell me what to do I don’t have much money but I can figure something out if it helps him. I don’t know where to go to get him help.

    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    He’s not my animal but I know my friend doesn’t care about him anymore so I doubt he’d care if we have him to someone else. But the thing is idk how to go about this, like where do I go? A pet store? I’ve never taken care of my own pet before so I have no clue how to do this. This other lady I...

    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    I think he’s only like two years or so old? He’s really small but idk if that’s because he’s young or malnutritioned (idk if that’s a real word but you get what I mean). I love animals and I’d hate to see him in pain.

    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    Honestly idk any of those other than I think he’s fed like chicken hearts and/or ground beef every other day? I give him strawberries whenever I can which isn’t too often. Sometimes eggs. I’ll post a pic. His lights are switched from a bright yellow heating light during the day to a red one at...

    My friend doesn’t know how to take care of their damned tegu and it could be in pain for it

    So my friend has had his tegu for a while but he never really knew how to take care of it from the beginning (and neither do I). My friend went on vacation for a month and Achilles (the tegu) just recently grew a lump on his back according to my friends Mom who was taking care of it. I have no...

    Cool! Thank you so much I seriously appreciate it. One last question though; how in the world does one heat up frozen mice? Like that’s not something you put in the microwave is it? Won’t they explode???? Lmao
