고양이와 개와 함께 테구 도마뱀을 키울 수 있습니까??

You may have heard that as far as big lizards are concerned, 테구스는 최고의 애완동물을 만들어요.

It’s true – they are docile, 똑똑한, 주위에 두는 재미, 그리고 인간에게 위험하지 않은.

하지만 if you have cats, 집에 있는 개 또는 기타 작은 동물, then you may wonder if it’s okay to let them play together with your tegu.

Housing tegu with cats

Tegu lizards are actually quite similar to cats in terms of behavior.

They need a lot of personal space, are highly inquisitive, and do not crave your attention too often – despite still being cuddly at times.

그 말, you should not let your tegu play with your cat without supervision.

Your tegu is unlikely to harm your cat, but it has a very strong bite capable of hurting it badly should something go wrong, and cats do tend to annoy tegus.

One wrong move and it could end very badly!

Do tegus get lonely?

대부분의 파충류와 마찬가지로, tegu lizards are solitary animals and territorial, 기회주의적 생물.

그들은 고독에 살고 외롭지 않다, so it is perfectly acceptable to own a single tegu and never let it interact with other animals.

You only need to make sure to provide adequate enrichment conditions for them to stay happy.
