Am I feeding to much!!!!

[kendrick silimon]

Hello tegu world I'm wondering if I'm feeding my yearling to much he goes through about four pinkies and an adult rat every other day on top of about three or four slices of fresh turkey breast .

You can feed as much as they will take. It's an insane amount of how much they'll eat sometimes. Other times they might be full from the previous day. My hatchling will sometimes eat 2 pinkies, some fruit, & nibble at ground turkey.

Maybe feed a wider variety? Add in some organ meats, fish, fruit, or whole chicken or quail chicks.

Mine is about 3 feet and 3.25lbs and under six months. For example, today he ate 1 whole day-old chicken, 2 hairless hopper mice, 1 chicken neck, and six grapes.
On another day when he was really hungry, he ate 2 rat pups, 4 hairless hopper mice, and 5 day-old quail. It evens out to about 4-5 ounces of food a day. I also have a mix of chicken livers, chicken necks, chicken hearts, head on shrimp, salmon, frog legs and egg yolks I alternate with. It's basically half mixed whole prey and half whatever is good at the Korean market.
