Diet Question for sulcatas

[Zllenith]

Can they eat cucamelons?

Greetings..... Sullys should really limit their amount of any “sugary” item and focus on grasses, weeds, etc. Ppl often feed watermelon as an occasional treat.

So.....how much sugar is in a cucamelon?

Melothria scabra, also known as the cucamelon, is a vine grown for its edible fruit. Fruits are about the size of grapes and taste like cucumbers with a tinge of sourness. Vernacular names include mouse melon, Mexican sour gherkin, cucamelon, Mexican miniature watermelon, Mexican sour cucumber and pepquinos.

In my opinion.... I’m sure it’s an ok thing to occasionally feed, but there are so many better things.

Good luck
