Help and advice on shopping for: Livefood Care

Ensure your pet’s food is at its best

It’s pretty simple, the better care your livefood gets, the better it is for your pet. Our livefood care range is designed to help you give your pet the most nutritious meals possible. In the range, you’ll find products from a variety of top reptile brands including Arcadia, Exo Terra and ProRep.

What is livefood care?

Livefood care is a set of food supplements, feed and enclosures used to house and maintain a livefood population such as locusts, crickets or cockroaches. These livefoods can be gut-loaded with lots of vitamins and minerals which will pass on to your reptile, amphibian or invertebrate when they eat them to ensure they get absolutely everything they need to thrive.

Why should I buy livefood care?

Livefood care is important, just as we wouldn’t want to eat meat from a sickly or malnourished animal, neither do our pets. By feeding up your livefood you can effectively make it more efficient, offer more energy, vitamins and minerals. With livefood care, you can ensure your pet has the best diet possible.

What are the main types of livefood care?

Our livefood care range can be split into gut-loading, feed and containers. Gut-loading products are designed to be fed to a livefood population just before their fed to your pet to ensure they are filled with many half-digested vitamins and minerals. Feed is designed to be fed to a livefood population on the days leading up to being fed to your pet, included in feed is hydrating jelly that will give your livefood plenty of water while minimising the risk of them drowning. Containers are small enclosures that are used to keep livefood, particularly species that are capable of escaping.

What should I look for?

Research is a good tool during livefood care, to pull off a gut-load correctly you must check what your pet needs from their food and then what your livefood can eat, match it up correctly and you’ll be able to give your pet an incredible feed. We recommend fully researching each product you buy to ensure it’s suitable for your enclosure and livefood before making a purchase.
