Food for Reptile Disaster Kit

[Caity]

Because I live in Southern California, all of our pets (including the fish) have disaster kits and transport containers for emergencies like earthquakes or floods. So I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for food items to pack in my Beardie's (Hadron's) disaster kit. I already have canned crickets and some organic baby food but I'm not sure what to pack for his fruits and veggies. He is somewhat picky so the freeze dried mixes at the pet store are unlikely to be useful.

Has anyone ever tried using a dehydrator or canning their own veggies for relatively long term storage for their beardie? Thanks!

I think baby food like squash would be good to have on hand. You also want to make sure if you are feeding him during a disaster that he gets at least 2 hours of heat as hot as his basking area, so that he is able to digest his food. If not, feeding him would be a bad idea. Would also be a good idea to get some reptile heating packs that can keep him warm for long periods of time.
