Chicken feet

I feed my tegu ground chicken feet all the time. Other than ground sardines it's her favorite out of the other grounded up foods I give her.

Never tried whole chicken feet though but I assume as long as it's not too big the tegu could probably eat it easily.

Where do you get ground chicken feet?

It's a pretty good food for tegus. It has just over a 1:1 calcium phosphorus ratio, so add some calcium supplement.

My Rags likes the ground chicken feet. However, he will not eat the feet on the whole chicks.

Lol, you would have to fight the water dragons for the extra feet here. However, you will not be fighting me!

In a few more months I'm pretty sure I'll be able to give Oreo whole chicken feet rather than ground. She's still a bit too small to handle whole chicken feet right now though. Although maybe she could handle cut up chunks of it... When I'm preparing everyone's meals later I'll have to cut up some chicken feet for her and try it.

my Male loves chicken feet but, the female won’t eat them. I normally cut off a couple toes on the chicken feet to make it easier for him to swallow.

He’ll eat chicken necks also. Both are cheap but, I only give it to him as treats. I wouldn’t give it on a daily basis. Once a week is fine

My adult male will eat whole chicken feet, but then again he eats anything I offer him even if that would be a clump of dirt. Hell also take drumsticks and chicken/turkey necks, though I do have to cut up the turkey necks.

I know what you mean. My tegu stole my damn taco from taco bell one time lol. They well eat anything you give them or accidentally leave out for them to steal...I have a video of daughter sharing her Cheetos with him one time. She would eat one then, give him one. Every time I caught her I told her not to do it. Next week they’re eating Doritos together lol..

Does he tear the meat off the drumstick or is he big enough to eat them whole???
