Reptile Food: Live Crickets, Mealworms, and More

Feed your pet a delicious diet of live bugs. Or opt for a frozen or dried variety. Reptile food comes in many forms and formulas, and at Petco we can help you meet the unique dietary needs of each species—whether they’re a snake, frog or lizard. Supplying your pet with a balanced diet is a crucial part of their growth and overall wellness. Find your pet’s go-to meal at Petco today.

Choosing the Right Reptile Food

Serve up a live cuisine of crickets, fruit flies, mealworms or other assorted reptile food. In order to find the right food for your pet, you need to understand their nutritional needs. For example, snakes prefer live or frozen rodents. But bearded dragons can eat a range of foods, from live insects to fruits and veggies and dried food. At Petco, we offer live reptile food as well as pellets and supplements for pet parents who prefer not to participate in live feeding.

Freeze-dried vs Live Food

There are many species of snakes and lizards (even frogs and turtles) that require a live meal as part of their balanced diet. But pet reptile parents can choose freeze-dried insects instead of live insects in some cases. We also have dried reptile food to supplement some reptile diets. Always consult your veterinarian when choosing food for a new pet in order to meet their dietary needs.

Once you have your pet’s menu set, Petco’s selection of live treats and prepackaged pellets make it easy. Sign up for Petco’s Repeat Delivery to get free shipping and exclusive savings.
