Well I ordered BIGGIN some goodies from https://www.hare-today.com/product_info.php?products_id=70&osCsid=a4375790432417528a58c15760f421e9
You all should really check out their products.

I got him some
Ground Atlantic Herring
Pureed chicken eggs (free range)
Ground turkey/bone/organs
Ground Rabbit/bones/organs
Ground Pheasant/bones/organs

These are great as they have no preservitives and they ground the entire animal bones organs and all. I did opt for the hairless rabbit.

he's going to love me for sure lol

Let us know what Biggun thinks of all that! I just placed an order with them as well. Can't wait to get my new Gu and start trying out some different dishes for her. :) I passed on the herring, since I didnt know anything about it and it wasn't on the Tegu Food List with the fish. Let me know if your gu enjoys it. :p

I ordered-
1 x Chicken Hearts, 2 lbs
1 x Ground Rabbit, Whole Carcass - Fur and All, 2 lb
1 x Pork Livers, 2 lbs
1 x 1 Day Old Quail, 30 per bag
1 x Ground Goat/Bones/Tripe/Organs, 1 lb
1 x Pureed Chicken Eggs -Free Range

Add that with the ground turkey I got at the supermarket yesterday and I think we're all set for a while. :D


OH, and on a sidenote- I know bobby recommends beef liver mixed with turkey for the baby gu diet. Pork liver was on sale for a good bit cheaper, so I went ahead and got some of that. I figure that nutritionally they are about the same, but couldn't find much info on one vs the other. Anyone know if pork liver makes an A-ok substitute?

How much is the shipping rate if you don't mind me asking. I'm on the west cost so I am wondering if its cheaper just to stay with my local guy.

Depends on weight of package and how far its going. There's a calc for ground shipping on her site. Im on the east coast and it was like 19$ for 2 day fed ex shipping. Expecting my package Wed.

Unfortunately my tegus arrival is TBA due to the extremely bs temperature outside tho.

Wow that is resonable, ordering mice it seems my shipping is always 3 times more than the mice themselves, lol.

I asked the lady at the supermarket if she would grind some turkey with the bones and everything, and she looked at me like I was an idiot. I just ordered some coarse ground turkey, rabbit, and quail (meat/bones/organs) from Hare Today. Hope my gu likes it.

I'm curious how everyone else's hare-today orders have gone... what the gu likes/dislikes.

So far my results have been:

Loves ground Pheasant (meat+bones+organs)
Loves ground Duck (meat+bones+organs)
Loves ground Goose (meat+bones+organs)
Loves ground Quail (meat+bones+organs)

Likes Rabbit (whole ground carcass)

No interest in Llama (meat+bones+organs)

Have yet to try out the salmon (whole ground fish), and the sliced bison hearts.


I have to admit, these results completely surprised me. I originally thought that the ground meats route was something inferior that people just did to keep eating costs down, but I did side by side tests with ground meats and whole thawed prey, and that changed my mind.

Mac's preferences are:

1) Ground anything from hare-today, except Llama
2) Thawed pinky mice or rat
3) Superworms
4) Thawed fuzzy mice
4) Fruit (Cherries mostly)

the fuzzy mice & fruit are about tied

For mine-

Whole Quail - Loki likes pulling the heads off and just eating those. Tegus are weird.
Rabbit - Favorite hands down, Gets so enthusiastic that I have to clean meat chunks off the ceiling
Duck - Likes
Turkey - Loves
Salmon - Won't turn it down, doesn't seem to like as much as the others though

Alternating those with small mice, crickets, and bits of healthyish human food. He is really thriving on the diet right now.

So each day he gets something dif. with my rabbit and turkey I also have whole ground quail eggs mixed into the meat. So it looks like this.

M= Turkey/quail eggs(blend) with a dubia or two
T= Rabbit with Dubias or two
W=Chicken/quail eggs(blend) with grapes
Th= Quail with dubias
F= Hamburger with calcium suplament -D3.
S=Fuzzy or two with horn worms or dubia
Su= Fuzzy or two with posible fruit option(note he may only take one or two bited of fruit, he's not a fan).

Thats about it and the order changes up and depending sometimes I liketo bring him new stuff like chicken gizzards ect

I took out some ground salmon and sliced bison heart (the last two hare-today things I had not tried) today and set them on the counter to thaw. Half an hour later I find Mac in the kitchen pacing with his head up high... I think he could smell the salmon.
