Hello
My name is mike and I am a new red tegu owner!
I was hoping for some help with my new baby Zeppelin :p
I have him for about a week now and was reading posts on the net about babies not eating and was hoping to get some tips on what I can do to help him eat more. I have cut down on handling my little guy and had to eventually just let him eat alone in his cage which im not too fond of. I guess what im trying to get at here is, when should I take him out and let him start eating in his feeding bin?
I did notice he did eat a bit of ground turkey the other day in the cage for the first time so I am making progress with him. Is there anything that your tegus like to eat more as babies tho? I tried boiled eggs/ground turkey/crickets with vitamin suppliements but he will not eat out of cage :sad:
I have a ton of lighting too I need to setup but I was informed the fixture I am using can only use a max 60 watt light and i have a mercury vapor bulb i would eventually like to use that is 100w. but right now i am using a 50w uva bulb for day/50w red night for night with a florescent light fixture for uvb on the way in the mail right now.
His humidity levels are good but I was wondering if repti fogger would be a good buy too..
lol sorry for all the questions.. id very much appreciate any feedback! Thanks all
Glad to be aboard !!! Will post pics soon!!
