Have Questions About Reptile Feeding?

We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.

What should I feed my reptile?
The best food for your reptile depends on its species. Insectivores like geckos and bearded dragons thrive on live insects such as crickets, locusts, and mealworms. Herbivores like tortoises eat leafy greens, vegetables, and formulated pellets. Always research species-specific diets and use calcium supplements when needed.
Is live or dry food better for reptiles?
Live food provides natural hunting stimulation and hydration but requires care and storage. Dry food is more convenient and shelf-stable. Many keepers use a combination of both, depending on their reptile’s preferences and needs.
Do I need to dust insects with supplements?
Yes—calcium and multivitamin powders are vital for reptiles, especially those not exposed to natural sunlight or UVB lighting. Dust live insects 2–3 times per week to prevent metabolic bone disease and nutrient deficiencies.
How do I keep feeder insects alive longer?
Store live insects in a well-ventilated container with egg cartons for hiding and offer gut-loading food and hydration gel. Keep at room temperature unless otherwise specified on the label.
How often should I feed my reptile?
Feeding frequency varies by age and species. Juvenile reptiles typically eat daily, while adults may eat 2–3 times per week. For example, baby bearded dragons need daily protein, whereas adult snakes may eat just once a week.
What feeding tools do I need?
Essential feeding accessories include tongs or tweezers, non-tip food dishes, calcium powder, and escape-proof worm bowls. These tools help ensure clean, safe, and effective feeding.
What’s the best food for a leopard gecko or bearded dragon?
Leopard geckos do well on live mealworms, crickets, and locusts. Bearded dragons eat a mix of live insects and vegetables. You can also offer soft pellets or freeze-dried options for variety or travel feeding.

Reptile Food and Feeding Supplies

A varied, well-supplemented diet is essential for healthy reptiles and amphibians. Different species need very different foods, from live insects for geckos and bearded dragons to frozen rodents for snakes and fresh greens for tortoises.

Our reptile feeding range includes live food such as crickets, locusts, mealworms, fruit flies and springtails, frozen foods including mice, rats and chicks, and complete diets for bearded dragons, crested geckos and tortoises. We stock Peregrine, ProRep, Repashy, Zoo Med and Komodo.

Dust insects with a calcium and vitamin reptile supplement to prevent metabolic bone disease, and gut-load live food before feeding. Defrost frozen food fully and offer it with feeding tongs. Feed young reptiles more often than adults, and remove uneaten live insects from the enclosure.

Charterhouse Aquatics stocks reptile food and feeding supplies with fast UK delivery. Our reptile team can help you plan the right diet for your pet.

Good to know

Why are some points pending?

Purchase points have an approval period before they become available. Your balance shows available points separately from pending points.

How long do my points last?

When points expiry applies, your balance stays valid for 365 days from qualifying rewards activity. Earning eligible rewards, redeeming points or a balance adjustment renews that window. Simply visiting the shop does not renew it.

Can I use points with my stamp reward?

Yes. Add your 10% stamp reward code at checkout and switch on your points. Your final saving depends on the eligible product total and any other discount restrictions.

What happens if I return something?

Earned points are adjusted for returns. Points used on refunded products are restored proportionally. If a refund takes a qualifying order below £250, its stamp is removed.
