Lizard food

Good nutrition is essential for the health and natural behaviour of lizards. In the wild, their diet generally consists of a varied mix of insects, plant material and sometimes animal protein, depending on the species. In captivity, it is important to replicate this variety as closely as possible. A balanced diet supports growth, muscle development, healthy digestion and a strong immune system. In addition, nutrition plays an important role in proper shedding and in maintaining energy and activity levels. By taking the species, age and living environment of your lizard into account, you help prevent deficiencies and support a long-term healthy lifestyle.

Different types of lizard food

Not every lizard eats the same, and the form of the food can also vary. Some species mainly eat insects, while others prefer plant material or eat a bit of everything. In addition to live food, supplementary and complete diets are also used to keep nutrition balanced. There are different feeding formats you can offer. For example, a gel such as Hikari Crest Gel Reptile Food. For species that are used to a firm format, pellets such as Vitakraft Reptile Pellets can be a practical addition.

Supplements and dietary support

In addition to their basic diet, many lizards need extra support in the form of supplements or added variety. Calcium and vitamins, for example, are important for strong bones and healthy muscle function, especially for growing animals or during the breeding season. A supplement such as Tetra ReptoCal can provide support when the diet or UVB lighting is insufficient. For owners who feed live food, the HabiStat Live Food Care Kit can be useful. It helps keep feeder insects in good condition, so they remain nutritious for your lizard.
