How much do tuataras weight?
Not enough information is known to tell the exact quantity of food which Tuataras consume on a daily basis but we do know what they consume. It seems to be that they are mainly insectivores and thus they would eat a large quantity of these to satisfy the daily requirement of survival. They do however also eat frogs, other lizards and the young offspring of birds. One interesting fact to note is that there is evidence to suggest that Tuataras have a slower metabolic rate so this may influence how much they have to eat. However, as I said earlier, no study has been able to study Tuataras long enough and on a large enough sample to conclusively say how much food Tuataras eat.
Do tuataras drink or do they get moisture from their food?

Are tuataras protected?
Yes
Is a tuatara a herbivore?
Tuataras are largely insectivorous, but also eat some meat. So, they are carnivores, not herbivores. They feed on insects and other invertebrates such as spiders, worms, and snails, and also take eggs and seabird chicks, frogs, and smaller lizards...even baby tuataras, sometimes. (Tuataras are not lizards). If they can catch it, and it's small enough and edible, they will eat it. Seeds have been found in their stomach contents, but it's not certain that they were there because the lizards deliberately ate fruit--they may have been inside (or stuck to) their prey.
