What to Feed Your Pet Lizard or Turtle
Live Food-
Live crickets and worms provide the perfect amount of protein and are closest to the way your reptile would eat in the wild.
Coat live food with calcium dust to keep your reptiles’ bones strong and healthy.
Pellets-
Commercial reptile food provides a complete, vitamin-rich diet for many reptiles.
Mix with freeze-dried or live foods to help your reptile get used to eating them.
Pellets make a great staple diet for turtles and tortoises.
Treats-
Feeding reptiles treats, including freeze-dried foods, is a great way to bond with them.
Treats can also be a great source of protein.
Fruits & Veggies-
Fresh fruits and veggies can also be an all-natural addition to your new pet’s diet. Some reptiles, like tortoises, can eat them several times a week.
Canned fruits and veggies help add moisture to your reptiles’ diet. It never hurts to throw some on top of the main course!
