    Golden Tegu Diet

    I am getting a Golden Tegu at the end of the week. What sort of meats are OK. I know ground turkey and chicken are okay. What about raw chicken breast or turkey breast? Any fruits or veggies OK?

    Re: Golden Tegu Diet

    Gold tegus will NOT eat fruit or veggies.

    They will eat any kind of meat, but it is NOT a good staple diet, or you will have a case of MBD on your hands.

    Whole rodents of appropriate size, coupled with proper husbandry will ensure a healthy, happy tegu.
