I don't suppose I could ask you a dog question? As much as I'd like to get these two on a raw diet there's no way my parents are going to let me. They're on Purina right now and it's needs to be dropped ASAP. They have healthy appetites so I don't think getting them onto something new will be too challenging.
Some of the Purina bags aren't TERRIBLE though yeah just their regular old "puppy chow" is pretty bad. What are the little beasts, anyway? They look like Papillons from your one pic on FB but I can't tell.
Anyway, a really affordable option which is grainfree and also gets a 4.5 out of 5 stars on dogfoodadvisor (which is a website that grades the quality of dog food based on ingredients and sourcing) is Whole Earth Farms which is made by Merrick! I had Creed on it for a very limited time when we were figuring out his stomach bug and he did very well! As you know I feed raw so once we switched back to raw I never picked it up again but still. I needed something decent and cheap while we were waiting out his tummy issues and I found it. I can find this food readily at both PetSmart and Petco as well as some of the smaller stores around.
Another decently affordable option IF you can find it is Zignature, however it's a holistic food and not many pet stores carry it. I can find it in only one of the stores around me (Pet Supplies Plus) and I have a lot of holistic mom&pop shops around that sell some of the more popular (and more expensive) foods.
If price isn't toooooooo big of an issue personally I like Wellness CORE. It's 30-50% more expensive than Whole Earth Farms however! It has a 5 star rating instead of 4.5 like the previous two and I really like it! If I fed kibble long-term I would probably be feeding this. Raw is less expensive for me than this particular kibble but I do feed their canned to my kitty!
If they let you, you can also order online from chewy.com. A lot of times their prices are not only cheaper but then you don't have to worry about not being able find it in a store.
(Remember that when you switch foods and particularly when you upgrade so sharply in quality, some upset stomach can happen. These guys are little puppies so try to switch them slowly if you can. Puppies and especially small breed puppies dehydrate FAST when they're not feeling so hot.)
Hope this isn't too invasive of a question but does Juju eat any vegetables?
It's not invasive at all! The answer to that question is "sometimes, when she feels like it." I offer her greens from time to time but she normally just ignores those. She'll eat green beans and peapods when I have them fresh, and I thawed some frozen shelled peas for her once but she just overturned her dish and scattered them all over the floor... I guess they offended her. She'll eat squash if I mix it in with mango, and she liked pumpkin when I gave it to her back around Halloween.

YES that good progress! If he’s comfortable enough to fall asleep knowing you’re still there that’s wonderful. It means he doesn’t feel threatened.
Aaaah yay ;o; We were both kind of dozing on and off for the last hour and a half. Until one of the kids came in and woke us BOTH up =_=; But it's great to know he's starting to feel more comfortable!
If you haven't seen it already, another link on good eats for gus is the one North Bay Tegu and Monitor Rescue has on their facebook page! It's in their notes section at the very bottom.
I have not seen that! Thanks! Looking at their page they have a lot of good resources and links to updated care sheets!
This is their food list
This is a list of "rookie mistakes" that anyone can make
Good information on keeping tegus on a budget

And LAST BUT NOT LEAST it usually comes in 2 different sizes: fine shredded, and decent sized chunks. Fine shredded is good for snakes and small lizards, while the chunks are good for pretty much just large lizards.
AND HERE WE SEE THE THRILLING END TO THIS EPIC TRILOGY ON CYPRESS MULCH. WE'RE HERE ALL WEEK EVERYBODY.

Also it’s possible to be allergic to it. We found out my mother was allergic when she was helping me clean out Angela’s cage one day back when I had her on cypress so I no longer use it. If your hands turn red/ get itchy/ become sore then u allergic
MORE IMPORTANT INFO WHY AM I ONLY JUST NOW HEARING ABOUT THIS??

When getting cypress though make sure that it is 100% CYPRESS most bags sold at stores like Home Depot and Lowes have toxic shit mixed into their cypress bags so always check first before buying.
!!! Yes this! Very important stuff I didn't know myself, which is really nice to hear now because I'm thinking I'm going to switch over to cypress. Thanks!
