    Default You may wish to rethink usage of fish oil....

    Fish oil has frequently been lauded as a great thing to give your tegus, both as a rich source of vitamin D3 and for other health benefits (skin, gut motility). Most of us, including myself, have purchased and used this resource without fully thinking where it may be coming from. We may wish to change our habits, I'd say this article definitely gives support for the argument that we should really be ensuring our pets get good exposure to UVB instead of going for cheap alternatives.

    A better source of fish oil would be from a whole fish, herring is the perfect size for an adult tegu and you can usually find whole frozen herring at the grocery store. Less chance of oil oxidation if you go with the whole fish rather than a processed supplement.

    Thank you tupinambis for the article. dpjm is right. I rather feed hole fish, too.
    Rich is not how much you have, or where you are going, or what you are.Rich is who you have beside you.
