How do I care for my new reptile?
The most important thing to do is let your new reptile settle into its new home. It has known one home most, if not all, of its life so it needs time to settle down from the move. Put it in its new house with food and water and LEAVE IT ALONE for a few days to a week or more (until it starts eating). Yes this is hard to do, but it is essential to reducing stress and getting them to start eating in their new home.
Do you do In-Store Pickup?
Yes, you can shop online and pick up your order in-store for free. It's fast, easy, and convenient.
Do you give away FREE crickets to loyal customers?
Sure do! Get your Cricket Card stamped with each (50 lot) cricket purchase. Once you've collected a dozen, trade your stamped card to redeem a free 50 lot of crickets!
Why might my pet have lost it’s appetite?
• They need to settle into their new home and that takes time.
• Changes in their environment may cause stress.
• Improper enclosure parameters.
• Ovulating or gravid females and ready to breed males may slow or stop eating for long periods during breeding season (Jan-Sept).
The least common reason may be some other health issue for which a veterinarian’s help should be sought.
