New at Bean Farm: ReptiLinks Whole-Prey Reptile Food

Please note: Reptilinks are currently available for pick up at our store and are not shippable yet. We expect to expand this offering soon, and will post an update once we open up options for our U.S.-based customers to order Reptilinks online and have their order shipped.

At Bean Farm, we’re excited to now offer Reptilinks, a nutritious innovation in whole-prey reptile food. 

Professional reptile keepers and amphibian keepers have added this healthy, customized, raw food option to their animals’ diets as they’re more nutrient dense and provide the same nutritive value in smaller portions. 

Hognose snake feeding on Reptilinks

Reptilinks use whole prey, locally-sourced food (raised for human consumption), and include bone, fur, feather, entrails, and organs. All products are made fresh in Ohio and are rigorously lab tested by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Each cased link comes in a natural collagen casing that’s safely and easily digested by reptiles, and they conveniently come in a variety of sizes.

Because Reptilinks naturally contain a lot of bone and connective tissue from larger prey, the calcium-to-phosphorous ratio (extremely important for reptile health, and a reptile's diet should be in the range between 1:1 and 2:1) is considerably higher than feeder rodents. This means your reptile can eat more fruits, vegetables and insects while still maintaining a perfect calcium to phosphorus ratio, crucial for preventing metabolic bone disease (MBD).

Per gram, Reptilinks contain considerably more calories than feeder rodents. This means more time between feedings, ultimately decreasing your food bill.

Take a look below at the current options we have stocked, along with the scenting juices available for help with your animals’ feeding response when transitioning to Reptilinks. Scents (juices) are made from each prey source without any additives, dyes, or preservatives. They can be essential for eliciting feeding response in reptile specialist species, helping to switch prey types, or transition to frozen/thawed.
