What kind of bedding do you keep him on and do you feed him in his cage?

Also make sure your tank temps are right or it may start to bed down early for hibernation.
Offer a variety of foods silkworms and hornworms usually get their attention fast and are much better for them than superworms.

just make sure the temps and humidity are right and offer other foods...tegus dont stay on insects for long...its just a hatchlng thing...they eat alot and they tend to be very active towards meat...argentine black and whites and argentine reds eat meat and fruit but reds need more fruit due to the fact that they need fruits to provide better sheds and they need alot of humidity and colombian black and whites and golds are just about theyre meat...start offering ground turkey and raw chicken cutlet and raw egg and hard boiled egg and scrambled egg and pinky mice...im pretty sure he"ll eat and make sure you feed him as much as he can eat and try to feed twice a day and he"ll be healthy in no time....
