Finally remembered to pick up some ground turkey this week. I feed it to my Gold, for the first time! He went straight for it. Seemed to really like it! This ought to cut down on the cost, it takes to feed him He has been on a ALL rodent diet now, for about 7 months. He is quite a little pig! Averaging about 3-4 small mice a day. He was about one month old, when I took him home from the pet store last Halloween, have owned him now for 10 months. So that means my tegu, will be turning 1 year old. in approximately a few weeks

My Tegu is not accepting the turkey I give him. The first day I feed it, turkey, he went straight for it! Now he seems to show no interest? I'm hoping that I haven't waited to long, to introduce him to turkey. He's about a year old. I will try again tomorrow, for the third time.

After putting My Tegu on a crash diet, she is finally accepting ground turkey. She seems to like it. She 's been on a exclusive rodent diet for nearly a year. I'm glad to throw some turkey in the mix. It will be good for her diet, and help my wallet!

When I 1st offered turkey to my Black, he went nuts over it as well for like the first 3 feedings, than simply stopped eating it by itself - I have to mix in a little egg with it to get him to eat any.
My gold "Which has never tasted eggs" eats turkey a few times a week and has never turned it down.
My Argentine - well he eats just about anything I feed him... _________________ 1.0.0 Ball Python "Albino"
