18" Tegu Feeding Questions

dragonfruit_85 Jul 13, 2004 05:29 PM

My male tegu is 18" or a little more rightnow and I was wondering what I can feed him besides: crickets, mealworms, egg, ground beef, goldfish, and some other things like that. What kind of rodents can he eat for being small still? And where can I get them, preferably not online. Thanks!

I sure at 18", they can eat young adult mice or at least a hopper.

You can get feeder mice at any reptile store...but why not online? It is cheapest if you buy frozen online. I buy 300-400 at a time from Frank Retes...you know, the Goanna guy.

Well I mainly dont want to buy online because I dont want a whole bunch of them, I want to make sure he'll eat them (Im pretty sure he will) plus I dont know what my dad would think of a pack of frozen mice in our freezer...
