Tegu lizards enjoy eating berries like blueberries, Brombeeren, und Himbeeren. Berries are low in sugar and can be fed regularly, except for strawberries which should be given in moderation.

Tegus will eat just about anything, including dog food, but it’s important to consider the content and quality of the food. Opt for high-protein canned dog food containing meat and veggies with few fillers. Wet food is better than dry, and lean meats like chicken and turkey are preferable to fatty meats. Canned food is not ideal for tegus, but reptilink sausages made of whole prey are a nutritious alternative.

Tegus can eat raw poultry such as chicken and turkey, which are nutritious and low in fat. While cooked meat can be given occasionally, it is best to feed raw meat as the cooking process denatures the quality of proteins and nutrients. Chicken or turkey parts such as hearts, livers, Muskelmagen, necks, Fuß, and carcasses can be fed to tegus, with ground meat being a popular option for mixing in vegetables and supplements.

Tegu lizards are omnivores and need a balanced diet to stay healthy. Ihre Nahrung besteht aus Insekten, kleine Nagetiere, und Früchte. Als Tegu-Besitzer, it’s crucial to know their species and age. Juvenile tegus require high protein to sustain growth, while adult tegus need to be fed twice a week.
