thanks for the kind words sir, BTW since we don't get turkey here so often. i feed my gu, pinkie rats and sometimes ground chicken and liver when my bruno gets a little bit bigger i will try to give him chicks (quail for that matter just enough to fit his mouth). i feed my gu everyday would that be enough? nutritional wise?

My All American Tegu doesn't seem to be slowing down and he eats everyday. If I forget or skip a day he doesn't have a problem with letting me know it by chasing me when I walk by. Or comes flying out of his hide mouth wide open when I open the door of his enclosure. My 2 1/2 year old Tegu Dino only eats everyday in the summer time and that depends on what he had the day before. With whole foods he'll eat every 2-4 days or he'll take something light like meat mash w/ fruits and veggies in between the whole meals.

So,... yeah as long as its still accepting food, I would feed it everyday. Its a growing baby, some people feed them twice a day. :)

Also don't worry about not having turkey, most meats from beef to fish are okay as long as they are low in fat. If its wild caught (I wouldn't recommend it but) freeze it for at least 24 hrs to kill most parasites.

ok got it..i breed my own mice and rats for the consumption of my pets..but i see your point in killing bacteria and stuff..thanks..:bow:
