Tegus and Monitors are carnivores. The first, third, and fourth ingredients are all grain.
Second, an adult tegu will scarf half a pound of food at a sitting. That means two cans of this. They eat every day.
Thirdly, Tegu need a varied diet. If you feed them the same thing every day they will suffer health problems.
Most responsible tegu owners feed a mixture of ground turkey and beef liver with eggs, fish filet, or whole dead rodents on a daily rotation. This comes out to much less than $5 per day, and results in a much, much healthier and happier tegu.
3 ounces of turkey with 1 ounce of beef liver -> 50 cents/day
4 ounces of fish filet -> 90 cents/day
2 large eggs -> 20 cents/day
2 rats -> $2/day
That means for between 70 cents, and $2.50 you can feed your tegu a much healthier meal than this.
