Tegu lizards are fascinating exotic pets that require a balanced diet of animal and plant matter to stay healthy.

Tegus can eat most types of fish in moderation.

Choosing the Right Varieties of Fish

When it comes to feeding your tegu fish, it’s important to choose the right varieties. Some fish contain an enzyme called thiaminase, which destroys a reptile’s stores of vitamin B1 (thiamine) over time, leading to thiamin deficiency, neurological damage, and even death if not caught in time.

Fish varieties that should be fed in moderation as they contain thiaminase include bass, Poisson-chat, poisson rouge, hareng, maquereau, éperlan, Thon, et corégone.

Recommended fish varieties for tegus include freshwater fish like tilapia, la morue, haddock and salmon.

Cependant, it’s important to note that saltwater fish can contain mercury, which can be harmful to your pet if consumed in large amounts. If you decide to feed your tegu saltwater fish like tuna, be sure to do so in moderation.

Preparing the Fish for Your Tegu

When feeding your tegu fish, it’s best to choose fresh fish filets without bones or small whole fish. While feeding whole mice and chicks is fine, feeding large fish with bones can be a choking hazard for your tegu.

En outre, it’s recommended to avoid farm-raised fish that may contain growth hormones.

To prepare the fish, cut it into small pieces and put it in warm water to get it to room temperature.

Sprinkle some calcium and vitamin powder on the fish before feeding to ensure your tegu gets all the necessary nutrients. You can also try feeding your tegu fish that has been cooked, as this neutralizes the thiaminase enzyme.

Moderation is Key

While fish can be a healthy addition to your tegu’s diet, it should only be fed occasionally as a treat or supplement to their regular diet.

Always monitor your tegu after feeding fish, and if you notice any signs of discomfort, such as vomiting or diarrhea, stop feeding it fish immediately and contact your veterinarian.

It’s also important to remember that fish should not be the primary source of protein in your tegu’s diet. While tegus are opportunistic eaters in the wild and will eat fish if it’s available, their primary diet consists of insects, rongeurs, et matière végétale.

To ensure your tegu stays healthy, it’s important to provide a varied diet that includes all the necessary nutrients.
