Maintain better control and a safer working distance during feeding and animal care with Stainless Steel Feeding Tweezers from Animal Equipment by Stoney.

Designed for professional keepers, reptile handlers, aquarists, zoos, wildlife facilities, breeders, and other animal-care professionals, these long-reach tweezers allow food and other items to be presented precisely without placing your hands unnecessarily close to the animal.

Constructed from durable stainless steel, the tweezers provide the combination of reach, control, and precision needed for routine feeding and husbandry.

Purple Ends for a Purpose

The distinctive purple ends aren’t simply decorative.

In animal training and husbandry environments, colors may become associated with food, targets, or specific behaviors. Purple was selected because it is less likely to resemble commonly used food or target colors, helping reduce the chance of an animal associating the tweezers themselves with the reward.

This helps keep the animal focused on the food item rather than the tool holding it.

Six Lengths for Different Animals & Working Distances

Available in:

8″ • 10″ • 12″ • 15″ • 18″ • 24″

Different species, enclosure configurations, and feeding situations require different working distances. Shorter tweezers provide excellent precision for smaller animals and controlled environments, while longer options allow the keeper to maintain greater separation from the animal.

Designed for Professional Animal Care

These feeding tweezers are useful for presenting:

• Feeder insects and invertebrates
• Frozen/thawed prey
• Prepared diets and individual food items
• Supplements and enrichment foods
• Small items during routine enclosure care

They are particularly useful when working with reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, small mammals, and other animals where controlled food presentation and keeper distance are important.
