"Litter Box" Training Tegus

[Jon_Snow]

So how do you go about litter box training Tegus? Also, once your Tegu is litter trained, how often do you change the substrate in your enclosure and do a full clean?

Thanks,
Dennis

You watch where they poop and put a box there. Hopefully they keep going in the same spot.

I use a water as for the litter Box Kirby has 2 water dishes one he goes in one he drinks in also I'd change it daily stiiiiiiiinky

Well that sounds simple.

So if your tegu ends up only pooping in the designated spot, how often do you need to change the substrate out?

I'd do daily to prevent bacteria and smell I change the water litter daily

 

[james.w]

You could go at least a year without changing the substrate as long as you spot clean daily. I have gone longer, I just try and turn all the substrate at least monthly.

Is he talkin about litter substrate or cage substrate?

 

[james.w]

I believe cage substrate. I could be wrong though, I was wrong once before.

When you see an adult sized poop in the cage, you will want to remove it that day.

I believe cage substrate. I could be wrong though, I was wrong once before.

On a side note if we are talking cage substrate I agree 100%

No, since it has only been once, I can remember it.
