Hello,
Tegus can grow very fast. At one point Goo was growing an inch a week in length. When he got to be 2 foot long he never spent another day in a cage. As far as food goes nothing cooked or boiled that destroys nutrients and enzymes. Feed live, a healthy tegu at any size will have no problem taking approperiately sized prey.
If you are going to use eggs use fertilized eggs. Fertilized eggs are a complete whole food, unfertilized eggs typical of what most people buy are not they do not contain biotin. Suitable feeders are earthworms and nightcrawlers, fertilized eggs, button quail, mice, rats, stone fruits aka peaches, plums, nectarines etc, whole fish not fillets or parts. We do not use frozen thawed for anything fresh is nutritionally superior. At smaller sizes less fruit is used by them as their need for protein is much higher than when they are grown.
