How many times a week should u feed a baby b&w tegu? So far shes put down 3 rat pups and some mellon

You should offer a young tegu food least once a day, it's hard to overfeed a growing tegu so long as you're providing a healthy diet and environment. I wouldn't suggest feeding rats more than once or at most twice a week. The bulk of the diet I feed is lean ground turkey(about 60%), then 20% beef livers, the remaining 20% or so being whatever random stuff I pick up that week(usually something on sale). Here's a good food list to give you some ideas of the variety of foods these animals can take.

I fed my red a mixture of boiled egg, raw ground turkey, and a little cod liver oil to help shedding.... Grew like a weed... I got the diet from varnyard or teguterra's website..... When i moved back to NM I was unable to keep him....

I fed mine a lot of crickets, then once or twice a week I fed ground turkey, egg or maybe rodent once in a while, and every day they got chopped up fruits(no citrus).

Mine liked those little smelts that come in a pound bag.
