The right feeder can make daily feeding much easier and give you much better control over how much your animal actually eats. With live insects, it also helps prevent feeder animals from escaping into the enclosure, while for arboreal species it places food where they naturally expect to find it.
In this subcategory you will find feeders for different feeding styles:
- live insects
- prepared diets and fruit mixes
- for arboreal species
- controlled dispensing of crickets or flying insects
- cleaner use of supplements and vitamins
What works best in practice:
- For crested geckos, day geckos and other arboreal species, one of the most practical choices is the REPTI PLANET Acrylic Feeder with 1 bowl or 2 bowls. It attaches to the glass with two strong suction cups, the bowls can be removed easily for cleaning, and it is highly versatile for water, prepared diets and small insects. If you feed animals regularly at height, this is one of the smartest options.
- For chameleons and other arboreal insectivorous species that hunt above ground, the Repto Insect Buffet makes a lot of sense. Instead of releasing insects freely into the terrarium, you let them climb up the textured wall, where the animal can hunt them naturally. The feeder can be attached to a branch or mesh, and the lower cup can be removed with a simple twist, which makes refilling and cleaning very convenient.
- If you regularly dust feeder insects with calcium and vitamins, the Repto Cricket Shaker is a very practical tool. Thanks to its double-bottom design and collection chamber, excess powder is not wasted, insects are coated more evenly, and they can then be dispensed through the top flap directly into the enclosure or into another feeder.
- For keeping and dispensing crickets, the EXO TERRA Cricket Pen is a proven long-term solution. Crickets hide inside the tubes, which then let you pour them out easily and cleanly with much less risk of escape. It also includes a food dish and water bowl for the crickets, making it especially useful for keepers who feed live insects often.
- For flying feeder insects, such as fruit flies or small flies, the Lucky Reptile Fly Feeder is a very clever option. It works as both a breeding box and feeder in one. The insects do not need to be transferred elsewhere — you simply place the box into the terrarium and let them crawl or fly out gradually through the small opening. This is especially useful for smaller insectivorous species or when you want to release food little by little.
- As a simple and versatile option, the Gecko Nutrition silicone bowl also works well. It is especially suitable for prepared diets, fruit mixes or supplements, it is easy to clean, and it is very practical for everyday use.
When to choose which type of feeder:
- Acrylic hanging feeder
- ideal for arboreal geckos, day geckos and other species that feed at height
- excellent for diets, water and small insects
- keeps feeding above the substrate and makes daily maintenance easier
- Insect feeder such as the Insect Buffet
- suitable for species that actively hunt
- helps prevent crickets or other insects from roaming freely in the enclosure
- supports a more natural hunting behavior
- Cricket Shaker
- best used as a tool for clean and efficient dusting of insects
- saves calcium and vitamin powder
- gives better control over what you actually feed
- Cricket Pen / Cricket Keeper
- useful for keepers who handle crickets frequently
- makes storing, dispensing and handling easier
- helps reduce mess during feeding
- Fly Feeder
- ideal for fruit flies, flies and other flying insects
- suitable for smaller insectivorous species, frogs and some geckos
- allows gradual release of feeder insects
- Silicone bowls or small cups
- suitable for prepared diets, fruit mixes and single portions
- simple, hygienic and quick to maintain
What to consider when choosing:
- what type of food you offer most often
- whether you feed on the ground or at height
- whether you need to prevent insect escapes
- how important easy cleaning and refilling is for you
- whether you want a universal option or a specialized feeder for one purpose
Our practical tip:
If you want feeding to work really well, choose the feeder based on the animal and the feeding style. For arboreal geckos and other species that feed at height, an acrylic hanging feeder makes the most sense. For active insect hunters, the Repto Insect Buffet is an excellent choice. And if you work with live insects often, a Cricket Shaker or Cricket Pen can save a lot of time and hassle. In most setups, a combination of a few smart feeding tools works better than one universal solution.
