Choosing and using reptile food

Start with the species’ diet

A product being labelled reptile food does not make it suitable for every reptile. Check whether your animal needs insects, vegetation, whole prey or a formulated diet, and whether a prepared food is a complete diet or a complementary addition.

Prepare feeders properly

Use an appropriate gutloading food for feeder insects according to its instructions. Select feeder size and feeding frequency for the individual animal. Remove uneaten live insects after feeding.

Use supplements deliberately

Choose a calcium and vitamin routine that accounts for the existing diet and UVB setup. Follow the supplement label and species guidance rather than adding multiple products with overlapping ingredients.

Keep food preparation hygienic

Store foods as directed, wash feeding tools and bowls, and keep animal food preparation separate from human food. Offer frozen prey only after it has fully thawed; follow the supplier’s thawing and handling instructions.

Reptile Food & Feeding: customer FAQs

What should I feed my reptile?

Start with a reliable care guide for the exact species and life stage. Diets vary widely: a tortoise food, gecko diet and whole-prey food serve different needs. Check the product label before buying.

What does gutloading mean?

Gutloading means feeding suitable nutritious food to feeder insects before offering them to your animal. It improves what the insect contributes to the diet; it does not automatically replace an appropriate dusting routine.

Does a complete gecko diet need extra supplements?

Follow that diet’s instructions. Some formulated diets already contain vitamins and minerals, so adding extra supplements routinely can unbalance the intended formulation. Check the exact product and your care plan.

How do I choose frozen prey size?

Use species-specific feeding guidance, the animal’s size and body condition, and the prey’s stated weight. Product names alone are not a reliable size guide. Ask for advice if you are unsure before ordering.
