The TRIXIE 76221 Feeding Tweezers are designed for reptile and insect keepers, offering a safe and precise way to feed small live prey and handle delicate creatures like spiders and scorpions. Made from durable stainless steel with flattened tips to prevent injury, these 20cm tweezers provide control and ease of use. The main caveat is their specific application, limiting their utility for general-purpose tasks.

Yes, TRIXIE offers other sizes, such as a 30 cm model, which may be suitable for different terrarium depths or personal preference.
Minor misalignment in tweezers can sometimes be gently adjusted. If significant, check if debris is caught between the tips. If the issue persists, the tweezers may require professional adjustment or replacement.
The flattened tips are designed for safety, which may reduce grip on very small or slippery prey. Try grasping the insect from a different angle or use a slightly different tweezer model if this becomes a persistent problem.
Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can cause minor spotting. Clean thoroughly with a mild abrasive like baking soda paste and rinse and dry completely. Store in a dry place.
Setup: These tweezers require no setup. They are ready for immediate use out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Primarily compatible with feeding live insects (crickets, mealworms, roaches, etc.) to reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids. Also suitable for moving small invertebrates. Not intended for use with mammalian pets or general household tasks.
Care: To ensure longevity and hygiene, clean the tweezers after each use. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. For stubborn debris, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the tweezers are completely dry before storing to prevent water spots or potential corrosion. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could scratch the stainless steel surface.
