    Hi all, I am trying to get my black and white tegu to eat more fruit. I would prefer it if he actually liked to eat it but thats not happening. I have been hiding it in ground turkey. What my question is, what fruits have people had good luck with them liking? I have tried banana (which is the only one he actually took on his own with no meat around), peach, pear, grape, blueberry and raspberry.

    Thank you,
    Carole

    Try rolling the grapes to him. Sometimes they will eat it if it's moving, lol.

    I doubt if you will get any responses as this topic is now over 1 year old

    Please check dates before posting, anything over 3 months old, unless it's on going, is regarded as a DEAD topic.
