Monitoarele Savannah sunt în principal insectivore (= mănâncă insecte), dar they can also eat fish on occasion.
De fapt, peștele este una dintre cele mai bune surse de proteine slabe pe care le poți hrăni monitorului tău Savannah.
Atunci când alegeți cel mai bun pește pentru monitorul Savannah, cel mai bine este să optezi pentru mic, pești întregi de apă dulce, cum ar fi bibanul, tilapia, somn (cu moderație) și peștele soare.
You can also offer them salmon fillets occasionally, keeping in mind that salmon has a slighly higher fat content.
Avoid feeding saltwater fish to Savannah monitors because of the high salt content. Limit consumptino of fish that is high in thiaminase (see list below).

Lucruri de luat în considerare
Sa nu uiti asta Monitoarele Savannah sunt în principal insectivore, but as they are opportunistic feeders and can eat fish on occasion.
in orice caz, it’s important not to rely solely on fish as a food source and to provide a balanced diet that includes a variety of prey items.
Do not cook fish before feeding it to your Savannah monitor, as cooking can cause the loss of essential nutrients and alter the texture and taste of the fish.
Cooking fish can also make the bones harder and more brittle, which can increase the risk of injury to your Savannah monitor.
În sălbăticie, these lizards would consume whole prey, including bones and all, and have the necessary jaw strength and teeth to crush and digest them properly without cooking.
Consider other whole prey items in addition to fish fillets. Rac de râu, for example, are a good source of calcium and can be a better choice for providing this essential nutrient.
Crab, scallops, and shrimp can all be fed to your pet Savannah Monitor, and most types of seafood with shells, ca mussels, clams, and oysters, can also be fed to your Savannah monitor as a source of calcium.
