Hello everyone!
This is my first post here and I'm a brand new tegu owner. I have experience with many reptiles and snakes and have been doing a lot of research before getting my tegu.
This may sound like a silly question but bear with me. I know what Tegus can eat, and mine has been fed cat food by the person I got her from. So far I've gotten her to eat various incescts and some fish. But when it comes to offering her meat should it be raw or cooked?
I'm a vegan and havn't prepared any sort of meat in the last 20 years. I have no idea HOW to do it. I hear people saying they feed turkey and chicken but no one ever specifes how the foods is prepared. My same question applies to eggs as well. What's better? Raw or cooked?
Should I keep feeding her high quality cat food?
She really likes insects. Crickets, roaches, horn worms and super worms and she loves berries.
Some people have recommended I feed her mice and rats but then others have told me not too many rodents because too much h fur is hard on thier digestion.
She's a young tegu, I'm unsure of her age (and ginger actually) but I estimate she's about 5-6 months old?
