When we still had ours, they wouldn't even tough eggs unless they were somewhat cooked. About every week or two, I'd add a few drops of cod liver oil to about two or three beaten eggs, then I'd just scrambled the whole thing up in an ungreased frying pan real quick, throw some calcium powder on it, and viola! Instant nasty-smelling tegu treat.
When we first got them, and they were still so tiny, I'd frequently chop up the F/T rodents for them. In the beginning, I'd cut pinkies in half, which seemed to go down better. After only a couple weeks (if that), they were big enough to not need their rodents murdered, and I could feed them off whole (as long as they were of an appropriate size).
