Food

Live food is often more entertaining for your pet reptile, but you may not have the right storage facilities to buy bulk live reptile food. You may also not like dealing with crickets, worms, and other live foods. For this reason you can choose between frozen, canned, and dried reptile foods to ensure your reptile has a healthy life. We are going to look at a few types of food you have when it comes to reptile food.

For turtles you have products that have tubifex, shrimps, and bloodworms. Within this mix are also pellet style foods with vegetables as the base. This is a canned and dried food which allows your turtle to get the nutrients it needs from their favourite species.

Canned reptile food for bearded dragons, iguanas, box turtles, and monitor lizards allows you to keep the food fresh. The canned food is often dried insects that have been cooked, but you also have a choice in wet food for your pet.

Bearded dragons are known for their vegetable diet. There are options for the types of food you can feed your pet reptile. You can provide live foods with fresh greens, vegetables and salad. You can also purchase canned foods that have pellets designed to give your pet the nutrients they need. However, if you are going to feed your bearded dragon pellets you will still need to feed them live reptile food because pellets are not a replacement. Most of the canned and dried foods have a base in vegetables and fruits for your pet. This is due to the fact that many of the reptiles naturally eat fruits and vegetables they find in their natural habitat. Iguanas like to have leafy greens, while Komodo dragons need a more specialised diet. For example, Komodos need live food such as insects along with some herbs and vegetables.

Canned and Dried Food for Reptiles

Within this section of our reptile supplies site you have several choices when it comes to the canned and dried food options, but you should not forget the value of frozen food options. You can purchase frozen mice or rats to feed to your reptile. Snakes particularly like to have mice or rats for their meals. There are two types of frozen foods for reptiles. You have economy and premium options. The premium option has been individually packed to ensure freshness remains. The economy option gets you plenty of food in bulk to continue feeding your pet.

With mice and rats you can also purchase live food, though you have to go to a local store for that. Sometimes your pet reptile appreciates live food more than something already dead; however, most pet owners prefer the frozen mice and rats to live so that they do not have to watch the death of live food. You get the same nutrients from the frozen mice and rats that you would obtain using live food. Being able to purchase the food in bulk can also help you keep your pet reptile healthy and content.
