Spore-forming bacteria can spoil both raw and cooked insect protein, threatening to cause food poisoning. While edible insects must be processed with care, simple methods are available to prevent spoilage. Boiling before refrigeration is recommended; drying, acidification, or use in fermented foods also seem promising. [103]
It is generally hard to convert reptiles and amphibians that eat insects to pre-killed prey, [52] though some pet owners can feed dead insects by moving or dangling them. [53] For instance, bearded dragons can be fed dead crickets by hiding them in other food, dangling them with tongs, squirting them with water, or vibrating a bowl. [54]
Insects as food or edible insects are insect species used for human consumption. [1] Over 2 billion people are estimated to eat insects on a daily basis. [ 2 ] Globally, more than 2,000 insect species are considered edible, though far fewer are discussed for industrialized mass production and regionally authorized for use in food.
The gonads are often eaten raw, such as in sushi (typically called uni). Some people prefer to eat them immediately after they are cut open.

Animals that are commonly fed live food include bearded dragons, [2] leopard geckos and other lizards, various types of snake, turtles, and carnivorous fish.Other animals, such as skunks (which are sometimes kept as pets), being omnivorous, can also eat some live food, though it is unknown how common this is in practice.
The leopard population has decreased drastically in Arabia as shepherds and villagers kill leopards in retaliation for attacks on livestock. In addition, hunting of leopard prey species such as hyrax and ibex by local people and habitat fragmentation , especially in the Sarawat Mountains , made the continued survival of the leopard population ...
