I don't know how much a fully grown adult blue eats but my little guy (puching the 30" mark now) is 8 months now and is always hungery. Currently he is eating 3 small mice a week, about half a pound of ground turkey, an endless amount of supper worms, and about a half of a whiting fish fillet. Thats not including furits such as strawberries and grapes, which blues don't need but he does love them. He alos gets the occassional treat like: silkworms, quail eggs, chicken eggs, chicks, hornworms, live fish(very rarely), earthworms and what ever else he feels like eating it seems. Right now his eating everyday and somedays his content just eating 10 to 20 super worms and sleeping other days his still wants his mouse and fish.
A little bit of the side note here to keep in mind, just like people each tegu has a different eating style. Once they get older though the food intake slows down, when thier little they have to fuel their gorwth spurt. Trust me they grow big fast. ----- Leo Gex 1.0 Giants 0.1 Giant Albino 0.1 Red strip/hypo 1.0 Patternless 0.2 Normals Others: 1.0 Giant plated lizard 0.0.1 Blue Tegu 1.1 dogs 2:0 chinchillas
