anyone else baby come home then burrow / slepp?

[Neeko]

They came, explored, dug, and they were gone. Anyone else's do this too?

 

[Krissy]

You spelled sleep wrong.

 

[new2tegus]

Good contribution prissy lol, yeah mine did that too. I held him for a bit, he had some food basked and then burrowed lol.

 

[fisheric]

Mine has been pretty active, but he only just ate and now he is calming down.

I have to share with ya'll how cute neeko's and mine are!
I heard a thump and looked over and saw a little nose moving back and forth on the glass from under the dirt! Cute little thing

They will do this for the first few weeks very normal.

 

[Neeko]

I guess mine are just "underground" foods out but not interested .

 

[Dereks-Dragons]

[Piercedcub32]

Mine's sleeping too, has been in his hide for a couple hours. ripped apart a pinky, guts everywhere lol. My colombian never tares them, just swallows them whole ;o) New experiences...

When i picked up the crickets and mice today the guy gave me a free bag of super worms. I put some in a bowl and he wouldnt touch it. After a few hours I dropped a couple crickets in.

He went berzerk on them. I didnt get an exact count but it was at least 15. Now he digesting. I have before and after pics and you can see his belly is big now.

Mine are just hiding, didn't get to see em eat.

Mine is hiding too. I put him in his cage, he hid for a while then started exploring. After about 20 mins he went into a burrow and I havent seen him since. I put some turkey in the cage but it hasnt lured him out. You arnt alone! lol

Glad to know! Hope tomorrow they come out.

It's totally normal for them to be doing this. They're in a new environment with new smells, sounds, etc. If you guys haven't checked out this page please do so, its got a ton of helpful info.

Congrats to everyone with new babies!

 

[Dereks-Dragons]

Line explored then went in his humidity hide after eating some eggs. You tried superworms? I have a bunch of them I have 1000 superworms on repeat order once a month but I figured they were too big for my new baby? I know my red can take down over 100 AND 2 scrambled eggs lol.

 

[herpgirl2510]

I know it is hard not to worry but my extreme took like two weeks before he at anything substantial. Think about starting a dubia roach colony. It is really easy and tegus love them.

 

[Dereks-Dragons]

I agree, I have dubia for my Beardies but its not a massive colony yet. And I know my red can eat the whole colony in one sitting lol

 

[Krissy]

Neeko and I have two colonies of dubia roaches going strong already, but we're saving that until we can take them out and into a separate container to eat. They did come out today to eat and are currently basking

 

[kellen.watkins]

Mine was all finicky after she got warmed up all day, I come home from work this morning no fuss let's me pick her up into her feeding bin and she got more turkey on the wall of the bin then in her mouth lol now she is exploring the reptile room, she must not be too afraid of me considering she climbed up my shirt while I was on tegutalk paying no attention to her lol

 

[herpgirl2510]

That must be great to get such a mellow guy to start with.
