    I get my tegus to eat fruit several ways. I will puree the fruit and use a flavor injector to inject it into a f/t rat. I also will puree fruit and put it with his meat regardless of what kind it is. The fruits I have had the most success with are as follows
    mango
    papaya
    peach
    pineapple (in moderation)
    orange (in moderation)
    guava
    kiwi
    star fruit
    strawberries
    green grapes
    tomatoes
    banana (rare occasion)
    plum
    nectarine
    and apples

    I also add veggies to their diets such as
    greens (collards or turnip)
    squash (butternut, acorn and spaghetti)
    sweet potato
    snap peas
    romaine lettuce
    carrots
    and many more my red tegu has issues shedding his tail so i add cod liver oil to almost ever meal which helps cause he loves it and he also loves fish oil both of which i credit for his shed being much much better.

    anyway mix the meat super well with the fruit you want him/er to eat and then they have no choice
