Hi Andrzej.Welcome to the tegu forum.My baby tegu has been sick,too.I took him to the vet and he gave me a syringe without the needle.He told me to force feed him some baby food ( turkey/chicken with gravy or with vegetable).My tegu is doing a lot better now.Make sure he drinks some water or mix it with the baby food so he/she will not get dehydrated.Mabe you should take him/her to the vet.Please keep us posted on how he/she is doing.Take care and good luck.

A sick animal is so hard to deal with. You can feel hopeless and you try to figure out what's wrong and address it and they can't help. I hope things turn out well for you and that you're new pet recovers and provides you with much joy and fun.
