Beefy (the Tegu) ate some strawberry applesauce for me today!!!! I didn't know if he would go for it after being fed a "live rat" diet by the previous owner. As soon as I opened the tank and he smelled it he attacked the bowl I had it in :p He actually wanted more applesauce than the little 1/4 cup that I fed him :lol: So tonight i'm going to try some broccoli and cauliflower to see if he will try those. All of this in one day of owning him! I think I have a voracious eater on my hands!

This guy is awesome!!! Beefy just let me take the excess shed off of him! Considering what I saw of him yesterday ( being aggressive, scratching, trying to bite the guy who used to own him, of course I chalked it up to being moved and stress) I didn't know how he was going to be when I went to take the shed off of his tail. NOT to mention he didn't have one layer of shed on his tail but 2! He had 2 layers of shed on his tail, and I could not believe it. I am soo glad I got him. I was hesitant at first, but now love him and he is not going anywhere ( my mom is already attached to him ) He seems to have adjusted already. He decided to poop and pee while I was taking off the shed on his tail. I guess it was really relaxing 8)

That's great! Congratulations! Looks like he'll turn out to be a good eater for you.

Head Count...
Thanks guys. Yeah, my mom is already saying that i'm spoiling him rotten I bought baby food for him tonight since it is nothing but fruit and veggies instead of continuing to give him applesauce with the high fructose corn syrup and other "additives" in it. I figure the baby food is a healthier choice for him. Of course that will be alternated with the meats and fresh fruits and veggies for him. He did eat some of his veggies tonight! I am so proud of my Beefy! He'll be healthier and happier in no time! I'll try to get good pics of him for you guys. I only have a 35mm camera so I'll have to get the film developed and put onto a disk before uploading them to the gallery. His feet look quite funny without his toes :cry:

He'll do okay without his toes with a proper diet and supplements. Applesauce really isn't very nutritionally sound, but sweet potatoes are sweet too and have loads of vitamins, so I'd try giving him those.
