One thing worth knowing

No nutritional analysis — protein, fat or moisture — is supplied for this product, so there's nothing here to compare against another whole-prey feeder on paper. What's confirmed is the sourcing and handling standard, not a nutrition panel.

Why we chose it

250 to a pack is a genuinely bulk buy, which is the only way whole-prey feeding stays cost-effective once you keep more than one animal that eats this size. The handling instructions are also specific enough to follow properly rather than guessing.

Full description

Feeding a reptile a whole prey item rather than a processed food is the more natural choice, but "natural" still has to arrive properly defrosted and hygienically handled before it goes anywhere near an enclosure.

These are day-old chicks, humanely euthanised according to government-set guidelines, then graded and blast frozen. They're sold 250 to a pack rather than in small numbers, which is the format that makes whole-prey feeding practical for anyone keeping more than one animal that takes this size.

One thing worth knowing. No nutritional analysis — protein, fat or moisture — is supplied for this product, so there's nothing here to compare against another whole-prey feeder on paper. What's confirmed is the sourcing and handling standard, not a nutrition panel.

Who it's for: reptile keepers feeding species that take day-old chicks as whole prey, and buying in bulk rather than a handful at a time.
