Kan tegus äta vattenmelon?

Watermelon is perfectly safe for tegus to eat and it can be a healthy addition to their diet in moderation.

Watermelon and melons in general make for a good treat for tegu lizards, as long as they are fed sporadically. This is because of the high sugar content in melons and fruit in general.

It is best to serve watermelon without seeds and rind to avoid the risk of constipation, but other than that it is quite healthy as far as fruits go.

Tegu vs Watermelon

Liknande frukter som melon och cantaloupe är också bra val, and may be slightly better from a nutritional point of view, since watermelon mostly contains water (som namnet antyder).

Tumregel, inte mer än 10% of your tegu’s diet should comprise fruits, and only a small part of this 10% should come from (vatten) meloner.

Colombian gold tegus should also be fed less fruits compared to Argentine black and white tegus and Red tegus.
