How to meal prep for Feeding Raw Diet
Hey guys! The discussion of a raw meat diet is a large one nowadays. Especially with all the information coming out about kibble and the harsh ingredients it possesses. A lot of people are turning to feed raw diets, especially when it comes to Ferrets, who are strict carnivores and certain reptiles who eat mostly meat as well.
My ferrets are on a strict raw meat only diet, my tegus are still juveniles and they have trouble eating whole prey still and crushing bone, so I feed them, smaller whole prey, but also I feed them raw meat as well.
In this video, I am showing you guys how I meal prep for not only my ferrets, but my tegus too. Most people meal prep for the week when they feed raw, I meal prep for months at a time with this simple meal prep. I love it and it makes it SOO much easier!!!

    I understand how nice it feels good making fun of him (deserved) but I recommend you avoid it, since the few fans he has may assume the pedophilia accusations are just yet another hating and will definitely not take it as serious as they should. And I used to be a fan of his. Edit: I am talking about the people in the comments, you girl did it fine

    Hi.. I'm an Aussie, I have two fully grown EWDs... They don't require humidity. Ppl will tell you that they aren't found in Victoria ( where i live) but they are, I've seen them in the wild with my own eyes on many occasions........ The reason i mention this is bc Victoria is dry, there's hardly any humidity in this state lol.... food for thought anyway right.😉 They are extremely flighty when young, if one gets away from you, you're probably not going to find it again lol so make sure you have a locked room, I used to get my guys out once a week when they were hatchings and I'd take them to the bathroom, small room with nothing they could crawl under... that way if they got away from me, I could at least grab them again... as soon as they hit a year old, I built a huge outdoor enclosure for them and they went out there permanently... they absolutely thrived outside under natural sunlight.. I'm not sure where you're from, but I'm sure you get sun at some point, so even if you can't keep them outside year round, I definitely recommend building a temp enclosure to use when the sun's out, so they get fresh air and sunlight... my guys are 5 years old now and my male is at least a meter long ... they've been breeding too so that's exciting...I wish you all the best with your guys.

    • @metalmomma4229
      @metalmomma4229 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is amazing! Thank you so much for the advise! They definitely are super fast lol He is still kinda flighty but definitely a lot better. We are planning on building an outdoor enclosure for the summer but sadly we have to bring him in during fall winter and some of spring. I live in Ohio so it gets cold here. Thank you so much! I love my little guy and I do lots if research, but I always appreciate advise from someone who actually has experience with them. Thank you 😊

    Mon petit chaoui (sha-wi’) is seven weeks old; she is a very affectionate lil’ raccoon. This is south Louisiana, we are all called coonasses here lol! 😝 I know the video is 3 years old but I just found it. I just wanted to comment that I know many people fear rabies, but from my experience with animal control, I can say that rabies was practically eradicated in the USA for over 50 years. There is a slight comeback but it is still very rare. More likely to get hit by a bus at this time, not that it isn’t ever subject to change, of course. Just sayin’ 🤷‍♀️

    • @metalmomma4229

    Hi there, your tegus are really beautiful and it's clear that you've put a lot of effort into their setup. I just wanted to share a few considerations about housing tegus together, as it can sometimes be a bit risky, especially if there is a noticeable size difference between the two. Tegus can sometimes have issues with cohabitation as they grow older, particularly if they are of different sizes. The larger tegu might dominate the smaller one, leading to stress or health problems. Additionally, if they are both males, they could become territorial and aggressive, especially during mating season. In order to prevent potential conflicts, it's important to have a large enough enclosure for both of them with ample hiding places, basking spots, and separate food and water resources to minimize competition. It's also crucial to closely monitor their behavior to ensure that both tegus are getting along well. If any signs of stress, aggression, or health problems are observed, it's best to separate them immediately. I thought you might find these articles helpful for additional information: Reptiles Magazine - Keeping Argentine Tegus reptilesmagazine.com/tegu-lizard-housing-and-care-information/ ReptiFiles - Colombian/Argentine Tegu Care reptifiles.com/colombian-argentine-tegu-care/ Tegu Talk - Cohabitation tegutalk.com/threads/cohabitation.10575/ Just sharing this info in case it's helpful.

    • @metalmomma4229
      @metalmomma4229 ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you so much! I really appreciate that! My tegus are the same size and haven't had any issues yet but I am watching very closely and I am willing to build a second enclosure if needed. I just hope I don't have to. lol

      Pedialyte is only for initial dehydration. It depends on when you find them. If they're days old, it may take a few days, if their eyes are open, probably a day or two. If older, none unless they seem sick and if they do, you should be very careful. It's rare, very rare but they could have rabies. Raccoons are vectors of rabies and if the mom had rabies, they could have it.

I'll be traveling a bit to pick up two sets of litters in a few hours here. I have years of experience with neonatal kittens. Never raccoons though. Based on what I've read there are a lot of similarities. Wish me luck. Lol Thanks for the great video.

    OK. I bought a female Australian Water Dragon and had an interesting experience. First few months were a little rough. I got the bag and the dragon, about one year old, and it spazzed upon jumping out of the bag. Very skittish and also jumped into our light fixture, knocking out his incisor teeth and some little teeth. Most little teeth grow back. My enclosure was 5 x 2 x 2 but the light area came down a little and I had a log there. Early on, she'd mark up her mouth. Also, in winter, there was about two months where she barely ate. I panicked, but after talking to other owners, this is normal during brumation. The good news is, things have gotten a lot better. The dragon has calmed down, and now sometimes eats out of my hand. I would not say she has a huge appetite, but eats more in the summer. She also lets me pet her under her chin. Eventually I will pick her up more, when she is ready. One big advantage to water dragons is they always poop in the water. So I put a bubbler in the water container and I just change it like every two weeks. The set up for this dragon takes a lot but the maintenance is not bad at all. Things are going so much better now.

      Oh wow! That definitely sounds like some experience! I am so glad she has calmed down. They are definitely super skiddish when they are babies and younger in general. Yours was a year, mine is about a year old and still really skiddish too. He is finally starting to calm down and doesn't run from me when I feed him and let's me pet him under the chin as well lol. He still runs and is super crazy fast when I try to pick him up, but if you do get him and hold him for a few minutes he will calm down then I just put him back into the enclosure. I thought this might stress him out, but it was the advice I was given by the breeder so that's what I do sometimes. I don't like doing it too much because it seems stressful for him but it might not be stressful if I do it every day and make it a routine. I am going to start doing it every day. I think maybe that will make it easier? Lizards love routine. ❤️ thank you for sharing your story. It definitely sounds familiar! The good thing is, when they grow up they calm down. Or so I have been told lol. I made a homemade filter for his pool because they poop in their water so much. I just built my tegus a huge enclosure but my next project is going to be building him his large enclosure. I am excited but just have to save up all the money to do so. I want to make it super cool and tall and have a big swimming pool in there for him. ❤️ anyways. I am so glad she is more calm now and I hope she gets better! Thank you for sharing 😊

      @@metalmomma4229 - I had a filter in my water, but the water wasn't super high and it just kept not working well. I was replacing filters constantly. So I just decided to get a bubbler for the water and change the container more often. It doesn't really get too dirty until maybe a week and half. Of all 4 lizard species I have, this has actually been the easiest. Water dragons are tough and don't seem to get sick easily...pretty hardy creatures.

    Thank you for helping him! Raccoons have to have their own special milk replacement. It's very expensive. Like $250 for a 2 month supply for 4 raccoons. The cat milk replacements can kill raccoons because they can't process it. Here's a link to the news video on a raccoon rehabber who explained it. th-cam.com/video/zOBGLeIqCl0/w-d-xo.html

      I have been rehabbing raccoons and have got my license through the state and every other rehabber I have ever known all have always used kitten milk replacement and no one has ever ever had a problem with it killing any of the raccoons ever. That kinda sounds like a money scheme to me. I mean if there is a actual raccoon milk replacement that is awesome, but the kitten milk replacement doesn't hurt or kill them.

      I've heard that too and some people swear by the cow's milk and canned milk formula. Kitten milk is supposed to be the closest formula for them.

    They need calcium or they will get Metabolic Bone Disease, fist sign is the twitching. Too much phosphorus is actually bad for them. The calcium has to be higher than the intake of phosphorus. Tegus are awesome and you won't regret it!

      I do use raphsody calcium with every meal. I have learned more and more about metabolic bone disease since I made this video. It scares me, so I always make sure to give the calcium supplement with every meal. I did crickets some, but not too much. He likes meat and fruits more than bugs it seems. He is much bigger now and onto baby chick's, small quail and hopper rats. But he does still love his meat and sausages I make him 😊
