Tammy31 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi. I have an b/w Argentinian tegu who is just over a year old. Called tiny. My staffy gets on well with him but I'm not sure weather or not to trust the huskys round him. I get him out and hold tiny and let the huskys have a smell iv been doing this every day since iv had my pups but I'm really not sure wether they want to eat him or play with him. His viv is in the front room so they smell him around all the time. This is the huskys with the tegu today Ice licking her lips. Or was it just a coincidence with the pic Alaska's eyes. I can't work out if she wants to play or if she is thinking yummy dinner Tiny gets the run off the front room while I'm home but iv not been able to let him out as much. Will my furbabies ever be able to get on with my tiny?? Excuse the mess my twins have been drawing all day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yep, I would keep them under close supervision at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy31 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I do as I don't want tiny to be dinner. Do you think tiny could ever be part off there pack if I keep introducing them? The tegu is quite a cleaver lizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 honestly I won't even trust huskies with a turtle. Any small pets need to be supervised closely. Reptiles included. I think it's sorta possible to make them lay side by side, tolerating each other's presence and all but I'm afraid that's all about it Btw I think I watched about tegus in Pets 101 in Animal Planet the other day... is it true that they're very canine-like?

The tegu is quite a cleaver lizard However he would need to be both More clever AND faster than a determined Husky and that's a tall order. At the end of the day you know your dogs. Only you will know if you can trust them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny will eat out the same bowl as my staffy when I give her wet foot. He has away off hitting the glass on the viv if he wants the loo. He's better house trains than my huskys too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy31 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think time will tell. The huskys do bow down and wag there tales at him as tho they want to play But I'm to worried to let him on the floor. When iv got. Him out the huskys do go in his viv and have sunbathed in there. So I'm kinda hoping they will accepted him one day but I do know I will always have to be very carefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy31 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Tiny licked both noses today and they licked back. Maybe that's a good sight as there was no biting on both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osinn11 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 That's great. Question for ya...Do they acknowledge commands if you were to ask them to do something while Tiny is out? Or are they completely fixed on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they completely fixed on him? Well when I'm holding him I don't tell them any commands as I'm worried that they might think he is a treat. When I let him on the floor for the first time. I told them to sit and to leave when they got to excited and they listened to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
