Alimentando Cucumbers to Tegus

Here are the steps on how to feed cucumbers to your tegu safely and effectively:

1. Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Isso removerá qualquer sujeira ou pesticida que possa estar presente na superfície. Rinse the cucumber under cold water for at least 30 segundos, and scrub it with a vegetable brush if necessary.
2. Cut the cucumber into small pieces. This will make it easier for your tegu to eat and reduce the risk of choking. The size of the pieces should not exceed the width of your tegu’s head.
3. Avoid seasoning the cucumber. Tegus do not need seasonings like salt, pepper, or garlic powder, as these can potentially upset their stomach and lead to digestive issues.

5. Do not offer pickles to your tegu. Pickles are high in sodium, which can be detrimental to tegus. Sodium can lead to dehydration and other health problems in these reptiles.
