FAQs - Zoo Med Arboreal Feeding Platform

What is Zoo Med Arboreal Feeding Platform used for?

The Zoo Med Arboreal Feeding Platform is designed for feeding arboreal reptiles like chameleons, geckos, and water dragons. It provides an elevated feeding area, allowing reptiles to climb and forage naturally, while keeping food clean and off the terrarium floor.

Can the Zoo Med Arboreal Feeding Platform hold water?

While primarily designed for food, the removable dish can hold water as well. However, it’s recommended to monitor for spills and regularly check water quality, especially in humid environments.

Will the suction cups hold in high humidity terrariums?

Yes, the platform is safe for baby reptiles. Ensure the dish is placed at an accessible height for smaller or younger reptiles, and monitor their use to prevent falls or injury as they explore.

How often should the food dish be cleaned?

The food dish should be cleaned daily to prevent bacterial growth, especially in humid terrarium conditions. Use a reptile-safe cleaner and ensure the dish is completely dry before refilling with food.

Can the platform be used in a bioactive terrarium?

How high should the platform be placed in the terrarium?

The platform should be placed at a height that your reptile can easily access. For arboreal species, positioning it higher in the enclosure mimics their natural environment, but ensure it’s within reach and doesn’t pose a risk of falling.

Can the platform be used for feeding insects?

Yes, the platform can be used for feeding live insects. Its elevated position allows reptiles to hunt and forage as they would in the wild. Just ensure the insects are placed securely in the dish to prevent them from escaping into the terrarium.
