>>ok thank you so much! what other food items did you offer when they were young? like appropriatly size rodents, eggs, ground turky or what? and when did you start offering fruits and vegatables?

As for meats, I offered pinkies then moved up to fuzzies, weanlings, etc as quickly as possible. Then I added quail chicks. I also fed chicken gizzards, hearts, liver, chopped chicken chunks, fish fillet, ground turkey, and lean ground beef.

Since I had an adult tegu at the same time, I offered the same kinds of fruit. I offered them from the beginning, but I guess it wasn't until a month or two that she began to eat them regularly. She has enjoyed cherries, grapes, banana, berries of any kind, melon, papaya, mango, peaches. Each is different. I have one that likes honeydew, one that likes cantaloupe, one that likes anything. They aren't too keen on veggies, but sometimes I hide a tad in their ground turkey meatballs.
