View Feeding Guide
| Hatchling & Juvenile | Small daily feedings — what they finish in a few minutes |
| Adult | Several times per week, adjusted to body condition |
| Breeder & high-growth colonies | Tuned to colony goals, water quality, and individual condition |
Remove uneaten food to maintain water quality. Adjust amounts based on species, life stage, water temperature, and activity. For specific feeding plans — especially with rare, hatchling, recovering, or high-value animals — consult an experienced reptile veterinarian.
Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed between feedings. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to help maintain freshness and pellet integrity.
