    Baby tegu doesnt eat enough/huffing when handling

    Ik I'm not sure how I can reduce the temperature, I have a uvb and uva bulb, another uvb lamp, and a halogen bulb for warmth. And for the taming, he has only bitten me once when did something dumb and tried to hand feed him a cricket. Other than that he has never opened his mouth aggressively...

    HELP! Tegu not eaten in a week. Eyes closed.

    So should I keep trying to give him food? My dad insists me not to put any supplements in his food because " it tastes bad and he won't eat it", is this true? I will try out a few live super worms in his enclosure. I put about 20 of them . Are these worms bad for him?
