Offer fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato for hydration and nutritional content, or use a dedicated gut-load product. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep conditions clean. House them at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts, with sufficient hiding space to reduce stress and mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFreshness and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLivefood is dispatched five days a week using fast couriers, packed on the day of dispatch and sent straight from the breeder.
