#austria is quite a small country so living rural is still mostly just a 1-2h drive to the bigger cities

ngl i forgot you lived in a village. hiw do you get all the stuff for your exotic animals like food??

there are some speciality stores in Vienna (1-1.5h drive) but i order most things like lamps, substrate ect. online

foodwise the gecko goop (repashy/pangea) lasts me a long time, most bugs eat leaves, rotting wood and food scraps and we have a garden center and hardware store with bare minimum reptile supplies and basic feeders

that being said I've been working on breeding most of my own feeder insects!
