Feeders & whole prey
Choose the feeder from the reptile.
First confirm what the exact species eats. Then choose the right feeder type, size, source, preparation, and hygiene routine.
A cricket, worm, and mouse solve different feeding jobs. None belongs in every reptile diet.
Pick the right feeding path
Use the category only after the exact species guide confirms it.
Feeder insects
Crickets, roaches, and locusts need correct size, feeder care, variety, and a species-specific supplement plan.
Worms & larvae
Compare their role and nutrient profile instead of treating every larva as interchangeable.
Whole prey
Match prey size and frequency to the species, and use controlled sources and careful hygiene.
Prepared forms
Check whether dried, canned, or prepared food still serves the feeding behaviour and nutrition the species needs.
Control the source
Known identity and clean handling matter as much as the feeder name.
Avoid wild insects
Identity, pesticides, parasites, contaminants, bites, and stings may be unknown.
Prefer frozen-thawed rodents
When rodents belong in the diet, frozen-thawed prey generally lowers injury risk.
Keep feeder food separate
Use dedicated storage and tools, wash hands, and keep reptile food away from human food areas.
