I just got some small and medium sized mice from Big Cheese and I'm wondering if it's cool to stop supplementing with MinerAll I or if I should get another can of it. Thanks

Rodents do not need to be supplemented. You only need to supplement insects, lean ground turkey, etc. Since rodents already have calcium and vitamins, adding supplements could cause issues due to over doing it.

Note: I highly recommend a UVB light unless you tegu gets direct sunlight.

I was under the impression that small mice like fuzzies have skeletal structures that are too underdeveloped to provide adequate amounts of calcium to growing tegus. I could be wrong, but I haven't had any problems with my tegu yet. As of last week he was at 40 inches total length, and growing at an average rate of 1 inch per week.

dpitch13, you are correct. I dust my mice until the Tegu can handle mice of medium size and rats of small size. I do this from experience because when I did not, I got Tegus with MBD.
