Hi everyone, i just got my brand new Columbian Tegu 2 days ago, i have a few questions to ask about diet and handling and such. So they had him in a decent sized tank at the store, but were only feeding him crickets so i picked up 100, and tried to feed him last night and he refused to touch them. So i broke out the old Yolk trick and still wouldnt, so i mixed lean ground beef with crickets and mealworms and egg yolk, low and behold he ate a massive chunk.
I am wondering if i can mix, Lean ground beef or ground turkey with crickets and mealworms and calcium w/ D3 powder so i can use these crickets, or should i just keep trying to feed him crickets.
also temps in his tank are 80-87F on the hot side depending if its day or night, 70-80 on the cold side, around 50-70% humidity and a basking spot of about 105F.
He was hatched about 1 or 2 months ago.
ANY other diet options are thanked,
Jake
