Care before feeding

Feeder care is part of reptile care. Keep the supplier’s care instructions and discuss gut-loading within your species-specific feeding plan.

Keep a feeding record

Track what was offered, what was eaten and what was removed. This makes changes in appetite easier to spot.

How do I keep useful care records?

Use a dated notebook or simple log for food, activity, equipment changes and questions you want to ask your reptile veterinarian.
