Live food
Live food is living food for carnivorous or omnivorous animals kept in captivity;
==Variety of live food ==
Live foods commonly available are crickets (both ''Gryllus bimaculatus'' and ''Acheta domesticus'' commonly), waxworms (''Galleria mellonella''), mealworms (Tenebrio molitor), Superworms (''Zophobas morio'') and locusts (a number of species are seen commonly). There are however many more species used such as butter worms, phoenix worms, a variety of cockroach species, silkworms and more. Insect species are most commonly used to feed small reptiles and amphibians.
Another common form of live food, most commonly used to feed snakes, is small rodents. The most commonly known small rodent used for live food is likely the mouse; many pet stores which carry snakes or cater to snake owners also carry "feeder mice" for this reason (see ''Fancy mouse'').
Creatures that are the most common choices for live foods, ranging from feeder mice to crickets and mealworms, generally are bred and raised in captivity themselves, and can often be found both through local pet stores and from wholesalers or "farms" that breed them specifically for live food sales.
