Kan druk tonijn eten?

Tegus is een alleseter en als zodanig kunnen ze vis eten als onderdeel van een gevarieerd dieet.

Tonijn moet met mate worden gevoerd, omdat het thiaminase bevat dat de opname van vitamine B1 kan verminderen, maar het is verder een behoorlijk gezonde keuze.

Het is het beste om tonijnfilets rauw te voeren, maar je kunt af en toe tonijn uit blik voeren, op voorwaarde dat het wordt geconserveerd in pekel en niet in olie, u wilt afspoelen onder water om overtollig zout te verwijderen.

Van hoge kwaliteit, wet cat food or dog food containing tuna may also be an option for tegus.

Daad vs. Tonijn

Algemeen, het is prima om tonijn aan tegu-hagedissen te voeren, hoewel there are better options in terms of fish and other protein sources (zoals rauwe kip of kalkoen).

Als u van plan bent tonijn aan uw tegu . te voeren, doe dit slechts sporadisch en bij voorkeur in de vorm van rauwe visfilets. Te veel tonijn kan gezondheidsproblemen veroorzaken door hoge niveaus van kwik.

Betere alternatieven

Kleinere witte vissen in hun geheel voeren kan ook een betere optie zijn dan tonijn, omdat je tegu toegang krijgt tot alle voedingsstoffen uit de organen en botten van de vissen, inclusief calcium en mineralen die anders moeilijk te verkrijgen zijn uit natuurlijke voedselbronnen.

Unshelled seafood can also be a great source of calcium and a substitute for whole prey.

Another great source of whole prey for tegus is reptilinks, a type of commercially prepared sausage link tailored specifically to meet a reptile’s needs, and consisting of whole prey animals containing meat, bone, connective tissue, and organs and all the essential nutrients a tegu needs.

Can I feed tuna to my tegu?

Tuna can be fed to tegus, but it should be done with caution due to the presence of thiaminase in some species of tuna.

Thiaminase is an enzyme that breaks down thiamine, a crucial B-vitamin for reptiles.

Aanvullend, be sure to avoid feeding your tegu any fish that may contain thiaminase, such as bass, meerval, herring, mackerel, smelt, and whitefish.

Should I freeze fresh fish before feeding it to my tegu?

Freezing fresh fish can help to kill any parasites that may be present and can make the fish safer for your tegu to eat.

If you choose to feed your tegu fresh fish, be sure to freeze it for at least 24 hours before serving it.
