Alright, I got my boy in August 2008. I've tried, and I've tried, and I've tried to get him to eat vegetables and fruit, but all he seems to really like are his eggs, his ground turkey, his beef, his rats... I cannot get him to eat anything else! I am wondering if any of you out there know of any helpful tips to get a stubborn male to eat his vegetables?

i would mix them in with ground turkey ground beef or eggs thats what i do
You might wanna try this, it worked for me, I take things like carrots, squash, plantains, and I steam them, mashed them up to like a baby food consistancy, and mix it in the food, he never knows the difference, its gotten to the point that he eats mashed carrots or plantains alone. (once about every 3 weeks)
Give it a try and PM me if it works out.

Even ten years later, it's important to clarify for anyone who stumbles upon this in a search:
Feed your reptile what it is willing to eat. They are more likely to know what they need, nutritionally, than you are. Hell, this actually is true of children, as well, despite unhealthy parental traditions of micromanaging diet. But it's especially true of animals like tegus.
