This is very interesting because I was having an argument with some tegu people about this..They say lizards cant digest cooked meats and only raw should be offered..I think that the risks of introducing salmonella/bacteria outweigh the risks of some undigested meat....I havent noticed any undigested food in my blueys poop.So I wonder if this statement is even true..Whats the thoughts out in cyberland?

Hmmm...but if the cooked meat was not digested wouldn't we see it in their feces, etc?

Yeah, I wonder what they mean -- they can't digest it, so they spit it back up? Or maybe they're referring to mostly Tegus.

Your kangaroo meat is not processed in a dirty factory. It's natural bluey food over there in AU.....
