Feeding guidelines
Rotation feeding — a few times per week is appropriate. Not a staple.
Peel (optional) wash and grate or slice thinly. Raw is preferred for most reptiles. Hard chunks can be a choking hazard for small animals.
Often overfed because reptiles seem to love them — carrots are high in sugar and should be a supplement to greens not a replacement.
