A Walk on the Wild Side

Zoo Med makes it their mission to provide reptiles and other exotic pets with the very best food, supplements and habitats.

Whether you're new to reptile care and fishkeeping or are an experienced breeder, Zoo Med covers it all.

An Exotic Diet for an Exotic Pet

When it comes to your pet's dinner, the menu consists of worms, crickets and snails galore. Zoo Med offers a wide range of nutritious and tasty food to feed every exotic pet a special diet that's made just for them.

TURTLES AND TORTOISES: From treats to whole diets, Zoo Med provides a nutritional boost to fit any turtle or tortoise want or need.

LIZARDS: For pets like bearded dragons, there's a selection of tasty options, including cans of mealies, grasshoppers and caterpillars and complete pellet diets.

FISH: Your tropical fish enjoys a treat every now and then, and Zoo Med offers a tasty variety to choose from.

FROGS: Including high-protein, sinking pellets that mimic what frogs would eat in the wild, this frog food is just what you need to keep your amphibian jumping.

Give Him an Extra Boost

Because any pet could benefit from a little extra care, Zoo Med makes supplements that will help fortify your exotic pet's health and environment. Feeding him a supplement, in addition to his healthful meal, can be the extra step that it takes to keep your frog, lizard, turtle or fish happy and healthy.

Rest, Relax and Thrive

Every exotic pet needs a place to call their own, and Zoo Med makes it easy to keep them comfortable and thriving.

LIGHTING

Mimic the true feel of a tropical or desert climate with lighting that gives reptiles the warmth of a natural habitat. The selection includes long-lasting bulbs that require minimal maintenance and infrared lights that won't disturb sleep patterns.

He won't eat it.

I've offered the food to him over and over and he just won't eat it. Maybe he is just super picky but his other food I have been ordering for years is discontinued

I've offered the food to him over and over and he just won't eat it. Maybe he is just super picky but his other food I have been ordering for years is discontinued or out of stock, so I gave this a shot.

Infested. Not fresh or properly sealed.

I opened this container of "gourmet" food less than a month after receiving. The top seal did not appear to be fully intact. The food at the top of the container was clumped together and with a sort of webbing that is indicative of insect infestation, as well as being indicative of moisture penetration. This product is probably a very good product, but without proper sealing, is useless to me. I do not feel safe feeding this to my turtles at this time. I'm not sure who is ultimately responsible, but both ZooMed and Chewy need to take notice AND make improvements.

I got this last December for my picky box turtle! He prefers his good either alive or fresh from the refrigerator. I tried this hoping he would like it. I tried several other kinds too. Unfortunately he didn’t like this, as I feared. I guess I will have to stick to live bait and fresh veggies with him.

What you see in the picture is NOT what you get :|

I, the human, was disappointed as soon as I saw it. The picture leads you to believe it's full of dried mealworms, mushrooms and strawberries. But it is really mostly what looks like rabbit food pellets with a teeny amount, literally, a MINUSCULE amount of the "gourmet" items. Because all I could see through the clear bottle were the pellets, I actually dumped the contents onto a plate to see if it actually had any of the gourmet items in it. Ok, on to the what the turtles thought.... thumbs down, they won't eat it and they'll eat anything. Money wasted as it's not worth the effort to return.

Sounds good, but....

Our turtle won't eat this. I will try again, but so far, he won't have anything to do with it. Prefers the canned box turtle food, food I cut up for him, and fresh

Looked good, but not to my turtle.

My turtle would not even try to eat it. We thought it looked good, but some reason he refused to eat. Normally he will try anything,not this.
