Reptilinks are a convenient source of whole prey for tegus.
These products are sausage links specifically made for reptiles containing a variety of ingredients, inclusief insecten, vlees, en groenten.
They are also fortified with vitamins and minerals, so they provide tegus with all the nutrients they need, and make for an excellent alternative to feeding whole prey.
Benefits of feeding reptilinks to tegus
Here are some of the benefits of feeding whole prey to tegus:
- Whole prey is a natural and instinctive food for tegus. Tegus in the wild would typically catch and eat small animals, so providing them with whole prey helps to keep them healthy and happy.
- Whole prey is a complete source of nutrients including protein, vitamins and minerals. Protein is essential for tegus’ growth and development, and it also helps to keep their muscles healthy. Whole prey also contains bones and cartilage which provides much-needed calcium for reptiles.
- Reptilinks are easy to digest. Because they are processed in sausage form, they are easier to digest for tegus and minimize the risk of constipation due to ingesting feathers or fur compared to unprocessed birds or rodents.
- Reptilinks avoid messy eating that often comes with feeding whole prey.
