Thoughts for Food
CiN publication - 4th edition

edited by Ardith Abate

A step-by-step manual for providing healthy, nutritious, and varied live food to insectivorous reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and other creatures living in captivity. Housing, culturing, and feeding of over 15 different insects are included in an easy to understand format. Captive insectivores are usually provided fewer than five species of cultured or wild insects. Malnourished insects maintained in unhygienic conditions may contribute to life-threatening diseases for the animal that consumes them. Good nutrition is the cornerstone of good health. This manual, published by the Chameleon Information Network, is an invaluable resource to new and experienced chameleon keepers.
