MEGA-BLEND

I have an African house snake and am trying to feed him a more varied diet as they normally eat a lot of lizards and birds in the wild rather than mice. He eats these readily and loves them but will still eat mice if I offer so I can make sure he gets a bit of everything! A great option to provide a more naturalistic diet.

I ordered Reptilinks for the first time because I had heard great things about them and wanted my Garter snake to have the best quality food. My Garter is wild-caught (he was found injured & we decided to keep him after recovery) and so was accustomed to eating worms, mice and various amphibians. I chose the mega-blend links with added egg to ensure he'd get a well balanced diet. He took these with absolutely no problem! He's a bit of a goof and grabbed it right in the middle the first time so I had to help him turn it around so he could swallow it properly, but the second time he got it perfectly! As soon as he smells it he immediately pops his head up and starts searching. Thanks Reptilinks! I have a happy snake so I am a happy mama! :)

Taken from a nutritional and manufacturing perspective, these are GREAT. I’ve used the mega blend with a reticulated python, corn snakes, and a false water cobra and noticed positive results within months for my overweight python.

That said, getting some corn snakes to eat these was a challenge at first for me. They just weren’t interested, regardless of scenting, defrosting in a mug of warm water with mice, etc. It’s not a diet change that all animals will eagerly adopt and may require weeks or even MONTHS of consistentcy from YOU, the caretaker.

Tl;dr - an AWESOME alternative IMO but is not necessarily fast or easy to convince fussy eaters.

Im not sure how to accurately review these because if we are going off of the product itself, they were as described. However, not a single one of my reptiles would touch them. Not even my pixie frog who takes from tongs would go for them, which is strange because he's a garbage disposal.
So, yes, the link are in fact what they are advertised as, but they don't appear to be appetizing to reptiles. At least not in my case.

These seem well made, but my daughter's corn snake won't eat them so far. I messaged Customer service before the order shipped to see if the scent spray would be a good add-on, but no one ever replied. With the minimum order rule, now I'm out $150 on 3 kinds of links just sitting in my freezer.
