Hi Jerry! It's not a good idea to feed them by hand, they can get overzealous and bite you, or they'll learn to associate you with food, so when every time they see you they think it's time to eat. I feed our adults with a fork some times if they don't eat fast enough, but that's advanced stuff when you know your Tegu. You can do a lot more with them after they trust you and you trust him.Jer723 said:is it dangerous to try and feed your tegu by hand? i want to traim her to feed from hand,
