I guess just like people some animals like other things, he loves the heating rock tho, as well did Cookie when he was young .

But I guess just like young tegus do he hides a lot in the ground.

If he only likes mice, theres nothing wrong with that. Just keep feeding mice. I was referring to him not eating much. I wouldn't use a hot rock though.

Things I tried: salmon, beef, chicken, ground beef/pig. He take one bite and leaves the rest it is kind of a waste of food, why don't he eat more?
Hi, why are you feeding lean meat such as beef, chicken, ground beef/pig? You need to feed whole animals only, otherwise the monitor`s health will suffer very badly.

Re: New monitor (salvator)

most monitors when offered the right conditions will do this this>

Argus Monitor Lizard feeding session - YouTube

i don't usually packed them up like this, but i just wanted to show that a monitor lizard that feels safe & secure & has the right temps/basking spot & the right humidity etc etc will do the above (well most will )

there was a lot more food taken that isn't shown!! lol
