You will spend a small fortune on live insects. I treat mine with crickets n worms but feed mainly with organ meat from chicken or Turkey mixed with egg n fruit. Hand feed fresh salmon other days. Others do primo dog food but.. I save that for my dogs lol.

Keep in mind if you feed like say crickets you must make sure it eats them all as crickets can eat your tegu. Worms should have heads crushed as it is possible that they wont digest fast enough and the worm can eat through the stomach. Super n meal worms not sure on horned. It is recommended that u feed wax as they have a softer exoskeleton

imo keeping an established roach colony of a larger roach like B. dubia is one of the cheapest feeding methods.
