Common questions
What animals can I use these with?
Zoo Med markets them for praying mantises, spiders, insects and other invertebrates. Their 15 cm size also suits precise feeding of small reptiles and amphibians.
Do they glow in the dark?
Yes, which helps for night feeds without needing extra light on the enclosure.
Are they dishwasher safe?
Zoo Med doesn't state this – rinse by hand after each use to be safe.
Will these damage a delicate feeder like a cricket or mealworm?
The fine plastic tips are designed to grip small feeders gently and securely, reducing the risk of crushing them compared with coarser tools.
