Hey we have an estimated 4 month old black and white tegu Bilbo and he is being a jerk denying foods like liver, chicken parts, duck, fish etc but he'll eat a little bit of grape? Weirdo anyways does anyone have any food ideas to tempt him? Otherwise he's just gonna have to get hungry enough

Be patient. If healthy, he won't starve himself AND being young he'll be more receptive to new foods.

UPDATE: He is eating everything again and has continued to gain massive growth so we are no longer so worried :)
