I was wondering what i should be feeding her on a wekkly basis and what times? thank you for your time. her photos are in the tegu galery.

Hello,

I located your photos to get some idea of what the age of your blue was. She appears only a few months old? I suggest calcium dusted crickets (minerall 1 is the best). Just drop them in about 10 at a time once or twice a day until she shows no interest in chasing them. Ground turkey is good too but also well dusted or mixed with calcium. Until she is ready for something bigger than pink mice, don't waste your time with mice or rats. Pinks have little to no nutritional value. She will be ready for hoppers soon if not already. In short feed her all that she will eat, and it is alot! Be sure she gets good UV exposure too. She will grow like a weed and needs the UV for good bone growth. Visit my website or email if you have further questions. I have pictures posted there taken once a month for the first year of my Blue "Tegan" as he grew. IT is really amazing how fast they grow. You will swear that she is bigger everytime you see her!
