So when I first got Freckles he ate ground turkey and some other mixes from the butcher. He ate a few pinkies. Then he stopped eating the pinkies. He has only eaten maybe two worms ever. Now he eats the butcher mix and chicken hearts and gizzards which he loves. I started trying to introduce him to fruit...he likes grapes. So I bought a piece of salmon and he wouldn't eat it. He went two days without eating and wouldn't touch it. Then I thought of dipping the salmon in the access blood from the chicken hearts and he ate it a few pieces. I tried it again the second day and he took it and then spit it out. I tried to give him blueberries...wouldn't eat it. If I let them sit in the container with the hearts he will eat it. I went back to trying the live pinkies and that was a no. I bought the frozen ones and he still wouldn't eat them. I again let one sit in the container with the chicken hearts and he ate it. Has anyone else had issues with their tegu not responding to variety? The only way I've found to get him to eat all these things with greens is making a shake. Thanks
