A diverse insect diet.
One box. Plus a
feeding plan.
Lite is a monthly box of three lab-tested feeders, sized for your reptile. Your account includes a Feeding Guide — a day of food, portioned for your animal.
Three feeders. Three jobs.
One complete insect diet.
No single insect gives a reptile the right nutrition — every species is strong at some things and weak at others. Lite pairs three that cover for each other.
Energy, minerals, water. Every feeding pulls from all three — that's what a diverse diet actually means.
One monthly box.
The whole insect diet.
Everything below ships every month, portioned to last roughly 30 days on the feeding plan. Pick your size at checkout: Small for bearded dragons under 6 months and leopard geckos, Large for bearded dragons 6 months and up.
You'll know exactly what a day of feeding looks like.
Every Lite subscription includes the Feeding Guide in your account: a daily portion for each feeder in the box, built for your animal. Not a generic care sheet. This is what it looks like:
Species, age, and activity — a one-minute setup. Weight is optional but makes portions sharper.
The Feeding Guide shows how many of each feeder makes one full day — mark what you fed with a tap.
Print the feeding card, tape it to the enclosure — portions update whenever the details do.
Your feeding plan isn't a guess. It's arithmetic.
Field research on what free-living lizards actually burn. Nagy et al., 1999
Captive reptiles burn less than wild ones — built in to guard against overfeeding.
Lab-measured every quarter — the exact bugs in your box, not species averages.
Set by species, age & weight. Update the weight and the plan updates too.
Same calories.
Better nutrition.
We compared a month of feeding two ways — an all-cricket insect diet, or the Lite box — matched to the exact same calories. Our quarterly lab results for our feeders, published research data (Finke, 2002) for crickets. Here's what changed.
We can show you this because we actually measure.
Every quarter, an independent lab — Midwest Laboratories, Omaha — runs a full nutrient and heavy-metal panel on all three Lite feeders. The comparison above uses those results against the most widely cited published cricket data in the field: 10 of 14 markers improved. To our knowledge, no other feeder supplier tests at all. Full report available on request.
"By expanding the dietary offerings provided to captive reptiles, we can ensure they are exposed to a broader range of nutrients, as well as limit the likelihood of the pets developing a nutritional disease."
Which ReptiBites is right for you?
Lite handles the entire insect diet with a suggested daily feeding — for $39.99. Premium is the full diet, planned for you day-by-day and delivered twice a month. Premium is the most complete thing we make. Lite is the smart-value way to get most of the way there.
Real people. Fast answers. Problems actually fixed.
Live insects, shipped fast — sometimes things go wrong. What matters is what happens next. Automated replies handle tracking and basics; everything else gets a real person, fast. Read the reviews below: it's the thing customers mention most.
If your bugs don't arrive alive, contact us and we'll make it right. Not the fine-print kind of guarantee — the kind where a real person fixes it.
Faster shipping means fresher bugs and fewer DOAs at the source. The $39.99 price covers it. No surprises at checkout.
Bots only handle the basics — tracking, hours. Anything real gets a human in under 5 minutes during business hours. Our average: under 2.
“Got our first shipment today. Very impressed. There was a mix-up on my address — totally my fault. Customer service tried to get it changed and couldn't, so they immediately sent out a replacement at no cost. Super impressed. Spike was even more impressed — he thought they were quite yummy.”
“This is by far the best way to get a varied diet for my beardie. Our little guy is happy and healthy, and I attribute a good part of that to his diet.”
“I've been using them for almost 2 years. In that time I had one issue with an empty container. I called and they immediately sent a replacement for the whole order, so babygirl had extra food. I always recommend this company.”
What we can tell you about our bugs.
What they can't tell you about theirs.
Every quarter, an independent lab tests our feeders for nutrition and for contaminants — lead, arsenic, mercury. Every line below is from that report. To our knowledge, no competitor tests for any of it.
"Unknown" = supplier publishes no third-party testing data. Cricket baselines: published feeder-insect composition research (Finke, 2002). Our full quarterly report is available on request.
Raised for quality. Not for mass production.
Those numbers don't happen by accident. Most feeder operations optimize for yield — cheapest feed, fastest harvest — and never check what ends up in the bug. We run the loop the other way: control the feed, control the conditions, then test the output every quarter to prove it worked.
We feed all our bugs a high-quality, vitamin- and mineral-fortified grain-based diet. Published research is clear: what a feeder eats directly shapes its final nutrient profile.

Every quarter, samples go to Midwest Laboratories for a full panel — calcium, phosphorus, protein, fat, hydration, and heavy metals including lead, arsenic and mercury. It's how we verify the feed and conditions actually worked — and it's the data behind every number on this page.

"We're the only commercial supplier we know of who can show you, with independent data, exactly what your reptile is eating."
Jackson walks the facility floor — the feed, the temperature logs, and the samples that go to Midwest Labs each quarter.
Three steps. That's it.
Small for beardies under 6 months and leopard geckos. Large for beardies 6 months and up. Sixty seconds.
A quick 3-step setup in your account builds a daily portion for each feeder — ready before the box arrives.
Follow the plan, watch your animal thrive, update the weight as they grow. We ship the next box before this one runs out.
The insect diet.
Done. Guided. Monthly.
Three lab-tested feeders, a plan built for your animal, free 2-day shipping, and a real live-arrival guarantee.
