Hello all....
For the last 2-3 months, I have been giving my tegu balanced meals. He gets 3-4 scoops of a ground meat, 3-4 scoops of a type of melon and 1-2 mice per feeding. All on 1 plate.
I uesd to do the all mice in one feeding or all gound meat etc., but switched to this meal plan, that I believe, to be yielding really good results.
Also, every 3rd meal is dusted with calcium. Also, I have cut down, almost completely eliminated the D3 supplement. He gets it maybe every 12-14 days now. Actually, awhile back, my exotic vet told me to not give him any D3, at all.
I have noticed his bowl movements are always on schedule and healthy. No power stuff and no constipation either.
I would like to add that my tegu will pretty much eat anything. So, he finishes absoultely everything on his plate about 99% of the time. Also, I have a very large tegu, so this amount of variety in one meal is easilly consumed.
I am sure that this "meal plan" is really nothing new and I am in no way telling others to follow this meal plan. Some, do not feed their tegu many mice. However, on this meal plan, they are only getting maybe 3 mice a week total.
Meals:
Ground raw chicken or ground turkey
Honey dew melon or cantelope
1-2 mice (usually 1)
Any thoughts out there??????
