I'm assuming that they are, but I thought it would be good to check first. I wouldn't think it would be good for iggy's because of the higher protien (right?) but for, say, uros or beardeds and such? Maybe hard boiled and then chopped or something? At work I had put some finely chopped yellow squash in the veggie mix the other day and people kept commenting how it looked like egg yolks and it got me thinking if they would like those sometime...They absolutely loved the squash BTW. The uro would get a mouthfull and then half close his eyes and almost nibble it with this really funny look on his face [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] it was fun to watch.
Anywho if someone could say yea or nea I'd appreciate it...

Well, according to every care sheet I have seen on beardies, eggs were mentioned a total of ZERO times.

I would stick with a balanced diet of the greens and occasional insects.

Protein for iguanas? Never ever feed an iguana any protein.

Yea exactly Animal protein can kill an Iguana so fast but Tegu's like eggs a lot you scramble them just like your eggs but crush the shell in with it but be sure its crushed really fine.

Please make sure you post your topics in the correct forums!

Uh, didn't he say he knew it was bad for iggy's, but was it ok for beardies or uro's? So, shouldn't this still be in the beardie forum?

I already knew that it was bad for iggy's, and it wasn't in this forum for that very reason. I was wondering about other lizards, guys.

Seeing as this thread refers to a few different Lizard species. I am now moving it to the misc. lizard forum.

The only Lizard i have heard mention of eggs in their diet are the monitors.. and ya can give em to Ally's i beleive also.. BUT with the size of eggs and the size of Ally's.. who'd wanna offer such lol

OH and btw.. animal protein when given to Iguanas will cause such things as renal failure..which would lead to the animal's demise ...

I agree, eggs can be feed to tegus, but not as a staple in their diet. make sure to cook them first. when my tegus get eggs (once or twice a month) I wash them first, then cook them scramble with the shell on. with the shell on, really cook them good. you never know what kind of funky stuff is on those shells coming from chicked farms, and in transport (which is why I wash them also. the shell is great for calcium, and your happy full-belly tegu will love you [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] . -Juggalo
