Dry reptile food includes freeze-dried insects as well as nutritionally complete pellets, sticks, and powders formulated to meet the dietary requirements of certain species of reptile. It offers a convenient, shelf-stable supplement to fresh and live foods.
While some species enjoy reptile pellets, most reptiles prefer fresh fruits and veggies or live foods like insects and rodents over dry reptile food. Reptile pellets are usually offered as part of a varied diet rather than the sole source of nutrition.
The amount of dry food a reptile needs per day depends on numerous factors, such as species, age, and activity level. Reptiles generally consume 1–4% of their body weight in food daily, though pellets might only make up a portion of the staple diet. Refer to the feeding recommendations on the label or talk to your veterinarian to determine how much dry reptile food to feed your pet.
