Live Food For Reptiles
Live foods for
reptiles are the key to successful keeping and breeding.
All amphibians, a large proportion of reptile species and virtually
all arachnids are insectivorous in their diet. In the wild, these
species have access to a wide variety of prey species and are
able to secure a balanced diet naturally. Captive reptiles and
amphibians can be given variation in their diet providing a regular
supply of different commercially bred livefoods which will go
a long way towards stimulating their appetite and keeping them
healthy.
Product freshness is of paramount importance if reptiles are
to obtain maximum nutritional value from their livefoods. To
ensure this, livefoods should be purchased direct from a breeder.
The leading source of home-bred insects is Livefoods Direct.
Livefoods don't come any fresher than those supplied by Livefoods
Direct. Insects and larvae despatched on any given day are still
feeding and breeding prior to being packed and despatched. Only
a breeder has such total control over product and is thus able
to guarantee both quality and freshness.
Livefoods of various kinds and different sizes are essential
for the nutritional well-being of a wide range of animals. On
the menu at Livefoods Direct are mealworms (three sizes), banded
crickets (six sizes), black crickets (six sizes) and locusts
(six sizes) together with super giant mealworms, waxworms and
curly flies.
Being aware of the fact that many customers may require a
variety of relatively small numbers of a particular kind of product,
insects and larvae are available in small quantities packed in
clear plastic tubs. Customers can mix and match items from across
our full range of livefoods and still save money. Bulk packs
are available where larger quantities are required.
Further information including details of how to unpack, handle,
feed and store livefoods are on the Livefoods Direct website.
It really isn't that difficult and if you are not yet familiar
with the items in the range it is worth pointing out that they
are clean, odourless and not at all unpleasant to handle.
The retail prices quoted for livefoods on the website include
the cost of packaging and delivery. What you see on this site
is what you pay! Orders purchased via the website are 5% cheaper
than standard catalogue prices and represent excellent value
for money.
