No to turkey, no to beef liver. Will try chicken hearts, and chicken liver next. He likes eggs, blueberrys, rasberrys. So far that's all we have tried. Oh, tried a day old rat pup yesterday. No interest. None.

I think you mean vegetarian :p he wouldn't be eating eggs if he was vegan. Though I have to ask... are the eggs free range? lol ;)

You have to watch the egg thing. Colombians love eggs and will refuse all else. I had an adult come to me with and either had or developed an egg fetish. I ended up dipping his food in a bit of raw egg to entice him to eat other foods. Now he happikly eats all sorts of foods. But both of mione love their fruits, too.

i have the exact same problem. my colombian tegu only eats eggs (raw or hard boiled) i tried dipping insects and pinkies on the egg but my tegu only licks the egg and ignored the goodies.
