Baby Tegu Feeding & Diet

[@amandassimplelife]

Great video. Just gotta say, dude seems like he just came from some place hard, like a war zone, prison, the hood and said fuck it, I'm gonna raise tegus and retire 🤣🤣🤣

[@KingGaboon]

When I lived in Argentina I saw them knock down bee's nests to eat the honey out of them and if the bees's nests were low to the ground they would run at them with their tails up to knock them down.

[@DoLo_XO]

I like it, straight to the point, no bullshit. Good stuff, thanks!

[@BlondeWisdom]

your storing your hornworms incorrectly. flip the lid so the food is at the top and so they climb up to eat it, prop the lid up with a pencil for ventilation, and empty all the poop daily. the food goes bad way fast if you don't

[@samgoldman5287]

Can you help I have a tegu and I watched a care video and it said if you feed the tegu before hibernation it will die I was wondering if you could tell me about tegu hibernation

[@freespeech6999]

They are now eating the Everglades!

[@yidy2338]

Overall is still good, I bought a T albino ball python, very healthy, active eating and friendly, and then when I intend to buy tegu and receive an animal that is completely out of line with the description on the site, and you know, buy any animal in this place, if you change your mind, you will not get a refund, But I still suggest you come here to see the python, very good!

[@snakeboi1994]

can you do one about feeding/keeping older tegus? thanks

[@UNDERGROUNDREPTILES]

The size is fine. I would just make sure your temps and humidity levels are on point. Check out our other tegu video on care. Thank you.

[@CJ_725]

When they get older can you use a 400 gallon tub for them that’s about 6 foot by 2 or 3

[@goldencirclereptiles3325]

That should be fine for one aslong as you take it out fairly often for exercise

[@anthonyjomarortiz3161]

Excellent video my guy!!! Straight facts

[@JoeDuckMan]

Basic tegu set up! 20 gallon long or more to allow the lizard to thermal regulate its body temperature (TEMPERATURE) 75 watt bulb or greater! Baby tegus spend up to Half of their life underground/ or in trees! As babies they are super high boreal! (HUMIDITY) very big water bowl! if substrate is dry or sandy is no good! Damp substrate is the best source of humidity! the humidity NEEDS to be around 60 or 70. if it is not the tegu will lose its toes (LIGHTING) defused or full spectrum bulb and als

[@varanid9]

I use fresh cypress mulch, but never feed the Tegu in his enclosure so that he won't swallow any mulch. I don't water him in it, either, but let him soak in bathtub approx an hour each day. If I'm leaving for a few days, I put a big litter pan full of water in his enclosure and replace substrata with plenty of black and white newspapers. After he's gone to the bathroom, I let him run around the living room until bed time.

[@silverfringe5298]

also watch for allergies when you give them new foods, i lost a baby tegue to introducing new fruit and went to work.toung swelled up couldnt breath.

[@DavidtheGiantSlayer]

I just got my girl from yall. So pretty and I love her. Thank you

[@lobonocturno420]

Too bad they losing their beautiful green ganja colours when they getting big

[@ravigdor1895]

How came you have an I.d.f shirt ?

[@bri.brennan6891]

On your app you're out of stock of Tegus

[@Tomatofacepoopynose]

great video very informative!

[@turnipsucks6416]

My goodness he is small. Amazing how big they get!

[@adriannachatteton8090]

Dont buy Tegus from Ryan B at underground reptiles. I had the worst experience buying a tegu from him. He shipped a tegu to me and the poor thing almost died, it was horrible. Than he had the nerve to say it was my fault!

[@mizzlerey9327]

adrianna chatteton ordered 3 Niles and they are thriving on the waiting list for some tegus sorry ur experience sucked doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy should of tried a different route

[@john_n_griffin]

Aww boo hoo. Probably was your fault

[@isitoveryet9525]

@@john_n_griffin lol do you work for this company or something? You're attacking everyone who's had a bad experience with UG.

[@BrokenJawProduction]

Personally I just dont think ordering animals from online is a good idea. I've had bad experiences from these guys, and other companies, It might be harder but just try to find a reptile expo or exotic breeder who is local, I'm sure you'd have a much better experience.

[@keithdesautels6516]

Hey Guys, I need some help. I have had my baby tegu for a week now, and am running into some issues with him eating. I feed him in a seperate enclosure than his tank, I have tried to feed him crickets, superworms, raw ground turkey, kale/collard greens, and fruit... He only took a few bites of the raw ground turkey, but after that seemed to lose interest.. He either walks away from his food or simply lays in it... How much are baby tegus supposed to eat, have the four bites of turkey filled him up already?? Also, How long does it take them to eat, I usually leave him with his food for a half hour or so, and he shows absolutely no interest.

[@ramadanjudah8130]

what do you feed your adult tegus on a daily basis and what is good to feed them and also one more thing i have a Argentine black and white tegu . He's around 2 but very under size he's is about 33 inch.I got him about 3 months ago he has bean growing since i got him but no matter what he doesn't eat fruit but i heard you could give them cod liver oil to substitute fruit. But i don't know how to feed him it and what meats to put in and how often to feed him. He eats every 2 days to about 3 days depends how much he eats . He eats a mix of ground turkey, ground chicken and chicken gizzards also boiled eggs with shell and once a week a mouse or a rat is that a good diet to feed him and what could i give him to get him back to size and he didn't hibernate for me looked like he was but he didn't. Thank you for taking the time to read and hope you could help me and god bless you .

[@MYFORTEOG]

Why is Home Depot substrates bad? I’ve heard from a few private breeders that the best bang for you buck and for your animals wellness was to go and purchase your substrate at places like Home Depot as long as it has no fertilizers or chemicals. They added that springtails help with mold and fungus. Are there other bugs in them? And excited to be a returning customer this season!

[@YeahYeahReptile]

Very cool

[@ulysee]

I love this guy. Resourceful, informative & honesty is the core of his sucess. Look at the passion when he speaks & his actions.

[@randyjohnson3614]

How long, on the red tegus and blue tegus ???

[@stanleyvo5198]

baby tegu so cute ! how to order 2 of them , one male and one female how much with shiping ?

[@digimanify]

I thought you don't give Tegus Calcium with Vitamin D? But thats super Vitamin D? lol

[@Tonyrocket]

How do you avoid “the shakes” in a yearling to adult tegu when they aren’t interested in crickets anymore?

[@NixonReed]

Yes thanks

[@thingwhatever]

Hi I'm wanting to know if it's possible to have a tegu and just feed it raw meat & eggs, fruit & veggies, but avoid feeding it bugs and worms??? Because I would really love to have a tegu, but I'm a lot creeped out by the bugs and worms!!! 😳😳😳

[@austinhenning4935]

thingwhatever The bulk of their diet should be insects and fruits

[@varanid9]

They are carnivores. The bulk of their diet should consist of mice. Argentine Tegus are unique in that they actually have been known to eat more fruit than prey animals, though.

[@Tylerbartlett3]

Ur videos r awesome

[@DoctorPepper4]

thnx my tegu started getting the shakes and she is about 3 feet long now and she eats everything. she is well cared for and her back legs twitch from time to time. none of my other tegus do that and they're all cared for the same way. any tips i setup a vet appointment for saturday but if you can save me the money thats always good......well see you ryan when i pick up my two blue tegus.

[@DoctorPepper4]

yes i did but a lot of different things come out did you spell it right (condalomas ) yesterday he was laying down flat and his back legs were twitching im just waiting for my day off so i can take him to the vet mean while i aint breeding him till next year so that way i know he will be 100% thanks again clark i'll let you know what the vet says saturday

[@efrenavila5538]

Everytime my tegu eats he moves his body like a snake to push the food down is this regular

[@360conscience]

Why cant all reptile videos be like this? GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@masonstapleton8236]

Im thinking about getting one and should feed it cricket when its a adult

[@654321poiuytrewq0987]

why would it be different if you are raising them to be cage less

[@Ignisiguana23]

I like watching the tegu videos! :) I don't have one my dad won't let me get one but I really enjoy learning about them. Could you post the tegu breaking habit very soon please and is it kind of the same with other reptiles?

[@rrrrrr-ry3cn]

Love ypur shirt 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

[@BrianSmith-jx7td]

OK I've been wanting a tegu for a long time One of the reasons is they are omnivorous Or at least that's what I previously thought hes kind of making it sound different I cannot under any circumstances bring rodents in to my house I still live at home while I'm going to school and my mom is petrified to death of rodents that's also the reason I can't get a snake my question is would a tegu be a bad choice considering that? If yes then what other options for a big lizard do I have because I do want a big lizard and I do have the space for it I can feed other kinds of meat I just can't bring rodents in the house

[@woox4930]

Tegus are excelent pets, you can have a Pogona and a Iguana too as other viable options, either does'nt eat rodents

[@largemonkey1895]

The setup is remarkably similar iguanas are more arboreal and eat vegetation and fruits.

[@homerrunningtortoise3258]

I raise Dubia for my dragons. Can i feed Dubia, instead of crickets? Thanks for the video!

[@yktd.]

+Homer Runningtortoise I was thinking the same thing. I would think so because dubias are a lot better than crickets.

+Neon Tiger yeah you can

Thanks!

[@shopekuax2067]

My baby tegu is not eating that much, what can I do?

[@aaronandrade5051]

change you uv and heat lamp bulbs.

[@finntruesdale6235]

What about Dubai roaches

[@lethanpoe7824]

could this be used for golden tegus ?

[@theowl4583]

+Lethan Poe Don't know if you got a answer but yes exactly the same.

[@TheAnimalguy1996]

great video

[@lilfossil5054]

Underground Reptiles thank you for the video, I just got a baby tegu and I fed him large meal works and he ate them, I was wondering if they would eat baby mice or not

[@varanid9]

If he's as small as the ones seen here, you will want to wait several months before introducing pinkies into his diet. They prefer their meals bite size and they're not as good at swallowing large prey whole like monitors (which also prefer bite size mouthfuls, BTW).

[@lilfossil5054]

varanid9 got it, thanks

[@creepdad]

how do you feed you full grown iguanas.

[@UNDERGROUNDREPTILES]

Blues are due this week and the next. The reds still a little ways away.

[@j.p.dufort7428]

how can i get a green tegu like the one u have? would they stay green?

[@654321poiuytrewq0987]

they don't they say it in another vid

[@amelbajramovic1949]

What could I feed instead of insects, I'm not a big fan of them and my parents don't like them either.

[@genridmartinez671]

pinkies are a good for your tegu

[@Matthew-cd8iv]

Amel Bajramovic then don't get a reptile.If you can't deal with what they eat then don't get one.

[@moderntuber2942]

What are the actual portion sizes for all this?

[@lidathorn6449]

as much as they'll eat within half an hour or so, depending on how voraciously your animal will eat.

Do they eat mealworms
