Hey guys, I was wondering where is the best place to buy cod live oil. I plan on mixing it with ground turkey but the only place that I know has it are the vitamin stores. Can i get it at grocery stores?
We have a huuuuuge grocery store in our town that carries everything under the sun. I found some there in the healthfood / vegan food section. It was like 15$ a bottle.
I just bought some the other day, I found it our local grocery store, Hyvee, in the vitamin isle. A 4oz. bottle was $8.00 and the big bottle was $32.00.
Sometimes, it is cheaper to get the pills, then poke them with a needle and drain the Cod Liver Oil out. That's what I do, because you can buy huge amounts of the pills for cheap at Costco.
Doesn't hurt taking some yourself either, helps your own skin
How often should one add cod liver oil into their tegus food? My dude has some tail shed that's being a butt and not coming off too fast, so I'm thinking adding it into his diet would be muy beuno.
Here are a couple of care sheet links from 2 of the bigger breeders. Basically 1 table spoon or 15 ml per pound of ground turkey. http://www.teguterra.com/tegucaresheet.htm

It also says to feed in conjunction with 1 part beef liver to 3 parts ground turkey. Feed each item once a week as a meal. It seems these two menu items work off each other. I am not an expert of any kind, I have only just added a Red Tegu hatchling to my collection, but this is some of the info I have discovered while reading about Tegus. Maybe someone with more hands on knowledge can help you more with this.
its so much easier to raise cod and cut out 3/4 of their livers.
Dont worry - the liver regenerates, just keep the incision clean with betadine.
and discourage any alcohol consumption.
It keeps a steady supply of cod liver oil on hand and its self sustaining.
