so today me and my boyfriend had our few month old tegu in the kitchen and we were feeding him, after he was done he just darted and ran into a hole in one of the cabinets, he has been in there for a few hours now and he hasnt come out. we can hear him move around in there every once in a while so we know he is still in there. i have tried everything i can think of, i have put a basking light right outside the hole and i have put various food out (crickets, fruit, ground turkey, soft-boiled egg, and my boyfriend is picking up liver on his way home from work). nothing seems to be working, so if you have any new suggestions please HELP!!!

i also would like to know how long he can live in there, i can imagine it is pretty dusty and cold.

I would call Johnny at TeguTerra. The only thing I can think of is he may have heard a rodent and went after it. Does your Tegu hibernate even partially? If so he may have found a hide. One thing I have learned with Tegus is "Don't Panic" So again Call or better yet e-mail johnny for a faster response, he is busy but answers emails in a timely manner.
