Knowing what to feed your reptile pets is highly important. Reptiles such as snakes thrive off of many sources of vitamins found in their prey. They swallow them whole and turn fat-soluble products into energy.
A reptile needs a wide source of nutritious food items to thrive in a caged environment. Feeder animals such as rodents and birds are a great source of protein and nutrition for these carnivorous pets. Whether you are an experienced owner of snakes or lizards or are new to owning a reptile, some tips can help you provide the best food sources for your pet.
How to Feed Your Reptile
Know the size of your pet. The choice of food will vary depending on the size of your reptile. If a snake swallows something too big for its body, it may not properly digest that certain food, which will compromise its health. South Florida Rodents offers a variety of prey in different sizes so that you always have what is best for your pet.
Buy in bulk. Depending on what food item is the best for your pet, it may be a good idea to have a set supply on hand. Much of our product can be purchased frozen in bulk so that you can store it and use it at your convenience.
Practice safe handling of all reptile food. South Florida Rodents packages and ships all of our items with the safest handling practices and care. Taking precautions when handling feeder rodents will help protect both you and your pet. We ship all over the country, making it easy for you to always have the freshest supply of feeders.
Starting your small reptiles on small rodents will allow their bodies to adjust to and digest properly. As they get older and larger, they will be able to take on larger rodents. South Florida Rodents has feeder animals appropriate for reptiles of all shapes and sizes. Our website allows you to browse product sizes and varieties.
