Tim Green

As a keen and passionate hobbyist many years ago, I can remember my excitement when I added to my collection of Fire-bellied toads, Leopard geckos and mantids and became the proud owner of a group of six baby Bearded dragons. In those days, husbandry techniques, specialist equipment and information were all harder to come by, but these pioneer dragons flourished, grew rapidly and became real characters prompting me to appreciate how these wonderful animals really tick all the boxes in terms of being an ideal reptile pet. Twentyfive years and a lot of reptiles and crickets later, I realise how lucky I was to be in the right place at the right time to witness the rapid evolution of what is now a mainstream part of the UK pet trade and to be able to play a small part in its ascendency.

Dave Perry

It seems an age ago when Tim and I were doing everything at Peregrine. We bred the insects, answered the phones, packed the orders and looked after the animals. Although these days we are more likely to be found in meetings or sitting behind a desk, we remain dedicated to the ideals that prompted us to start our company all those years ago, and have an enthusiastic team determined to make Peregrine Livefoods the premier supplier of reptile products and services. Reptiles and amphibians are now a major part of pet keeping, with more and more people joining the hobby each year. That’s great for business but it also means that more people can experience the sense of wonder that you get when you see a snake struggling out of its egg, a frog leaving the water for the first time or a mantis shedding its skin. I still get a buzz from these things and in a time when people seem to be losing contact more and more with the natural world it’s great to be part of an exciting, growing area that can get people enthusiastic about something. It also means that when I get bored with paperwork I can sneak up to the animal rooms to watch those frogs, snakes and mantids for a while, and there aren’t many people who can say that about their job.

The reptile advantage

“With our long experience as hands-on enthusiasts, breeders

and wholesalers, we understand both the complex and varied needs of the retailer and the aspirations of the hobbyist alike.“

■■ ■■ ■■

Reptile industry has a retail value of over £200 million pa More pet reptiles than dogs today Estimated growth of 15-20% pa over the last 5 years

The reptile industry has exploded into mainstream petkeeping, with increasing numbers of newcomers taking home their first Corn snake or Bearded dragon. Whereas the rabbit or hamster used to be a traditional first pet for children, many now turn to reptiles. Yet what unites the beginner and seasoned specialist is their determination to provide the best for their pet. Popular species such as Leopard geckos, Bearded dragons and Corn snakes are the mainstay for many retailers, with increasing numbers stocking more unusual and rare species. Testament to the reptiles’ popularity is how large pet chains have embraced the phenomenon, and are also stocking livestock, products and livefood. A major change in the industry concerns livestock; successful breeding programmes have meant that captivebred animals now dominate the market. New and improved products are constantly being launched, and this investment in Research and Development has enriched the husbandry techniques of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates immeasurably. With all these developments, hobbyists are now better equipped than ever to provide the ultimate conditions of care for their pet.

As reptiles and amphibians suit the modern lifestyle, being low maintenance and providing a fantastic alternative for children and adults allergic to fur, there is every indication that the industry will continue its upward trend. A one-stop shop Peregrine Livefoods is the obvious choice for all retailers, whether you are entering the reptile market for the first time, or have been selling reptiles for 20 years. Our professionalism and knowledge is unsurpassed, and we can help you every step of the way. We stock every conceivable product that is needed to keep reptiles, amphibians and inverts, backed up by top-notch support services. Highly driven and customer focussed, we’re never happy unless you’re happy. We have a strict policy of supplying only to bona fide traders, and are more than happy to tailor packages to suit individual needs, taking into account available space and budget requirements. Even if you’ve never stocked reptiles, and are understandably nervous about taking the plunge, we can advise on best starter species, set-ups and products. Together, we can help you increase your sales and margins.

Our people are our BEST resource “From the sales office to livefoods, from frozen to dry goods, all our teams work together to provide a solution for our customers. We want to provide the best service, best price and best margin for you. We are the largest and best-placed partner to assist you.“

■■ ■■ ■■

96 team members, many of whom have been with us for years All departments work together with a customer-centric focus We recruit the best to provide the best

Peregrine Livefoods was initially founded by Dave Perry and Tim Green (Perry-Green… well, it seemed a good idea then!) as a part-time venture to breed and sell livestock – while both were working as research scientists. Dave and Tim are qualified to degree level in biological subjects, and were breeding and selling reptiles and amphibians at specialist shows. At which they were asked over and over again what to feed the creatures, and where to get the food. By 1992, demand had grown so big that Peregrine became a full-time business. Today, Peregrine Livefoods is one of the most respected specialist wholesalers in the UK, supplying all the equipment, frozen foods and livefoods required for the correct care of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates, as well as the animals themselves. Customers include well-known specialist reptile shops, general pet shops, retail chains, wholesalers, zoos and rescue centres.   We take our responsibility seriously, and as such are members of several professional bodies including REPTA (Reptile and Exotic Pet Trade Association) and the Pet Care Trust.

Our four roaming sales reps have retail, wholesaler and breeder experience, and so fully understand the challenges retailers face, as well as what is important, such as business strategies, marketing techniques and growing profits. Most important of all, we are all reptile enthusiasts, and care deeply and passionately about the animals we provide for. Supporting them is our dedicated sales and customer service team members, so there is always someone at the end of a telephone to talk to. Whether it is to place an order, enquire about our latest products, ask for technical advice or even a complaint. We don’t mind – we love talking to our customers. Yet no one sees what goes on behind the scenes – the dedicated men and women who breed and care for our insects and livestock, our packing and warehouse teams and those working in the accounts and support teams. Each and every team member is an expert in their field, and we invest heavily in their training and development to ensure our service is always world class. You can expect no less.

What’s for dinner?

“We have been commercially breeding livefoods for

25 years, taking pride in the quality and continuity of supply. To remain competitive, we have to supply the best insects possible.“

■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

55 million top-quality insects bred each month Bespoke climate-controlled rearing complexes at multiple sites Insects freshly tubbed on day of despatch; live arrival guaranteed Barcoded tubs compatible with instore EPOS Guaranteed next-day delivery

As more and more insectivorous animals are kept, livefoods are a muststock for every retailer selling reptiles and amphibians – they are literally a consumable product. When you sell livefoods, you have guaranteed regular repeat sales and consumer footfall into your shop.

Always looking to expand our offerings and give you the best choices possible, we were the first to breed CalciWorms in the UK. These worms are naturally high in calcium, and our decision to include them was the direct result of the need for a nutritious livefood source that is naturally high in calcium.

For retailers who are new to reptile and perhaps a bit squeamish about handling jumping crickets and wriggling worms, our pre-packs mean it’s a hands-off job. It’s win-win all round.

All our insects are bred at bespoke complexes by experienced breeders, so we never have to rely on other breeders. The advantage of this arrangement means we have total control over quality and consistent supply. Our fill rate runs at 99% or more.

Not sure which insects to carry instore? We can advise on which types to stock, and how much, based on our extensive knowledge of the industry and analysis of buying patterns of more than 800 retailers. We have an extensive range of species (including crickets, locusts and meal worms and many more), available in different sizes to suit different mouth sizes. We make it simple for you to sell livefood by offering packaging options, in both prepack and bulk sizes.

Not one to rest on our laurels, we constantly review and develop our breeding processes, always looking to improve our range of insects, breeding methods and packaging. We also take our corporate responsibilities seriously, and to lower our environmental impact, we use heat recovery systems to re-use heat that would otherwise be lost. Our tubs are also 100% recyclable.

Captive-bred with integrity “We concentrate on captive-bred stock, sourced sustainably from top breeders in the UK,

EU and USA, so we can supply our customers with high-quality specimens that have been bred with their health and well-being as the primary aim. We constantly seek to enhance our own captive breeding to further improve supply and quality.“

■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

First-hand experience in the captive husbandry of over 200 species Specialists in the breeding of over 50 species Aim to stock 99% captive-bred stock Updated livestock list distributed weekly via email and web Core species in stock at all times Guaranteed live arrival

We are different from many wholesalers in that our livestock list comprises mostly of captive-bred animals, sourced both here in the UK and from abroad. As well as having our own comprehensive breeding programs, we work closely with commercial and private breeders to obtain as wide a range of species as possible.

Are you new to the market? We are more than happy to advise on species selection, care advice, and provide training on stocking and selling. We have also worked with industry experts to design bespoke livestock units for use instore. You won’t have to go anywhere else for information or help with your reptile department.

We have a solid captive-bred policy, which has two main advantages. First, we have better quality animals as each is reared under optimum conditions. Second, we are not unnecessarily removing creatures from the wild. All of which means we are working with the industry to make reptilekeeping sustainable.

Any wild-caught species that we offer will be hardy, easy-to-keep species with a track record of establishing well in captivity. They will also be of a quality that is comparable to captive-bred stock. We do not object to wild-caught animals, but believe that it must be carried out in a way that respects the animal, the environment and the local community. Collecting should also be carried out in a sustainable manner.

We are proud of our experienced, dedicated livestock team who are always ready to provide advice on care and health issues. And because we are all reptile enthusiasts, we take the reptiles’ well-being personally. Which is why we have regular veterinary inspections by our retained vet, who is also on hand for consultation at any time. We stock a wide range of animals – not just core species, but also the more specialist. All of which enables us to appeal to as wide a range of customers as possible.

We also adhere to a strict policy of responsible trading, so we won’t list species which we consider unsuitable for the average keeper, such as the Green Iguana, African Rock Python, Burmese Python, Green Anaconda or large Monitors. As an added service, we can source many specialist species, but treat each request individually and carefully consider the experience of the keeper.

That’s why retailers go to Peregrine “We take as much care with our frozen food as we do

breeding our livefood. All our frozen food is commercially bred for reptiles, then graded according to size, so you are guaranteed nothing less but top-quality produce.“

■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

Large range of mice, rats, chicks, etc. Packed in poly boxes with dry ice Guaranteed next-day service Variety of retail packaging options Retail barcoded packs compatible with instore EPOS

In the wild, predatory species such as snakes and lizards will feed on small mammals and other live prey. In captivity, many are more than happy to feed on dead prey, which is their staple diet. Feeding an animal frozen, dead food also makes their maintenance much easier as owners can buy in bulk and store in the freezer until needed. Most reptiles will only eat whole foods such as mice, rats and chicks so size is important. Both mice and rats, for instance, are sold in a variety of sizes, from pinkies through to adult, to suit the animal concerned. For example, pinkies are mice of a few days old, and ideal for many hatchling snakes. We carry a large range of frozen food, all of which are bred commercially at approved facilities for reptile food. All rodents are also graded into specific sizes so as to suit differentsized mouths. Peregrine is licensed by DEFRA as an approved supplier of frozen reptile foods under the Animal By-Products legislation.

Our range is extensive, comprising hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits and quail as well as mice, rats and chicks. But that’s not all, as we also stock a wide range of Gamma and ownbrand frozen aquatic foods. These are wild collected but then treated after packaging. Gamma foods are guaranteed pathogen free, giving total peace of mind to owners who are worried about introducing disease but want to use natural foods. To make things as easy as possible for retailer and end-user, we offer a range of packaging solutions to suit different markets and needs, including bulk packaging and opaque packaging. Discuss your needs with us, and we can advise what will work best for you.

Everything you need under one roof You can count on us to stock only quality products that are trusted and used by professionals the world over. Our own brand, ProRep, is uniquely positioned to complement the existing ranges of all major brands.

Over 4,000 reptile lines, more than any other supplier All major brands stocked Specialist and niche products Technical advice and back-up Competitive prices

Although livestock is traditionally seen as the draw product in reptiles, dry goods are vital and form a major source of margin. Everything from vivariums and complete set-ups to substrates, from heating and lighting to tank décor. Not forgetting supplements and even protective clothing and handling tools. At Peregrine Livefoods, we are so much more than just foods and livestock – we are UK distributors for Zoo Med, Lucky Reptile and T-Rex and stock every major brand including Exo Terra, Viv Exotic, Habistat, Arcadia, Microclimate, Vetark and Komodo. In short, we have every conceivable product a hobbyist and an experienced keeper could ever require. We also have our own brand, ProRep, which comprises a selection of the essential everyday products that reptile owners will need to keep their reptiles healthy and happy in captivity. It is a brand designed to complement other product ranges. With such an incredible, unparalleled and extensive product range, we are uniquely positioned to help you maximise your sales through informed product choice.

Housing ■■ ■■ ■■

Wooden vivariums Glass terrariums Plastic tanks

An arboreal species like a Panther chameleon or Crested gecko will require a taller vivarium than a terrestrial species such as a Leopard gecko, so selecting the correct size vivarium requires an understanding of the natural history of the species. We can help you stock a suitable range, as well as advising on the different styles of vivariums, from the more traditional wooden constructions to the user-friendly plastic ranges and modern glass terrariums. Lighting ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

Fluorescent tubes and compacts Spot bulbs and fittings MV and metal halide Halogens LED

There is a bewildering array of lighting available, which is arguably one of the most important aspects of reptile and amphibian care. Most reptiles require high quality and appropriate lighting to address their metabolic and behavioural needs – inadequate or inappropriate lighting can lead to Metabolic Bone Disease or lethargic behaviour.

It’s also not a case of one size fits all, and sometimes a combination of different lighting systems may be required to meet the relevant needs of a specific species. We can advise on all systems, and offer tailored advice for the species you stock. Heating ■■ ■■ ■■

Heat mats Ceramics Infra red spots

Reptiles rely on their environment for heat, and position themselves accordingly to adjust and maintain their internal body temperature. Which is why in the wild, reptiles will bask on rocks for warmth, or crawl under overhanging rocks to cool. It is common for owners to install heat mats, with additional hot spots provided by the use of infra red spots.

Foods/vitamins/supplements ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

Formulated foods are available for some of the common species and can provide a complete diet. They are an easy alternative for species that do not require live, frozen or fresh food, and have the benefits of being clean and easy to use – they also help avoid the emotive issue of feeding whole foods. To help boost the health of reptiles in captivity and address common health issues, there is a large range of vitamins, supplements, disinfectants and treatment products. We can suggest a suitable range to address everyday needs. Substrates ■■

Environmental control ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

Thermostats Humidity controls Sprayers and rain systems Ventilation

This category includes all the add-on sales that owners may need to provide the perfect set-up. From thermostats that accurately control temperatures in vivariums and terrariums, to humidity controls and spraying systems which increase humidity for relevant species. Ventilation systems such as fans are useful to cool a vivarium and increase airflow, which is essential for some species.

Foods Vitamins Disinfectants Treatments and care products

■■ ■■ ■■

Sands and soils Wood and bark chips Aspen/hemp Cage carpets

Substrates play an important role for reptiles and amphibians as many spend most of their time in contact with them, and owners need to be aware which substrate will suit their pet best, and which are safe to use. Choice of substrate is also influenced by the creature’s natural habitat in the wild, and using the correct substrate will help to create the optimum conditions for a happy, healthy animal.

Décor ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

Natural décor Artificial and live plants Water and feed dishes Backgrounds

This is all about making a vivarium or terrarium look as natural as possible while providing hiding and basking sites. We have an unbeatable range on offer, including realistic-looking artificial plastic and silk plants, natural and artificial vines, bogwood, naturallooking caves and hides, a large variety of backgrounds – including some astounding 3D versions. Not forgetting an impressive list of live plants; though we do have a list of reptiles that would make short work of any fresh foliage! Equipment ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■

Incubators Handling equipment Filters/sieves Protective clothing

This category contains a wide range of everyday products from cage locks to sand sieves and plastic feeding tweezers to cricket traps to catch escapees. For the more serious enthusiast, such as those who want to breed their reptiles we have a choice of incubators and for those that keep species that are difficult to handle, there are many specialist handling tools available and protective clothing such as gloves.

2008 marked a milestone for us as we underwent massive change and investment. Not only did we move to new purpose-built premises, we also put in a bespoke order processing, accounting and stock control software. As a direct result, we increased our efficiency and output, and are now able to better serve our customers. The new system meant improved order accuracy, as a result of the implementation of a new picking system that confirms product identity. Using barcode scanning technology, this has improved stock accuracy, enabling us to maintain daily stock updates. Our sales team work with bespoke state-of-the-art order processing software, and can send email acknowledgements of all orders placed. To enhance our customer service, we also send out email notifications of current promotions. Should we be unable to supply a product, we will usually be able to recommend a suitable alternative.

We are currently developing our website with the aim of seamless web integration. Having said this, person-to-person contact is important to us, which is why whenever you call, you will always be able to speak to one of our team members, all of whom have technical knowledge and can give advice on any of our products – or get the right person to talk to you. All part and parcel of the complete support we offer, both pre- and post-sales. What if things go wrong? There are inevitably times when all doesn’t go to plan. If this should happen, rest assured that we will do everything we can to put things right.

Training courses/focus groups for retailers EPOS solutions Shopfitting strategies Real solutions for real people Long-term support and guidance

Training and support We take great pride in going the extra mile, in demonstrating that we are more than just a wholesaler and breeder of livestock and livefood. It is because we care passionately about what we do that we have invested heavily in training and support services, not just for our own staff, but for you, the retailer. We have developed a series of training days specifically for retailers, a response to more and more customers asking for training. The training days provide practical advice and help with product selection and use, demonstrate how to successfully retail reptiles, explain the principles of reptile keeping, and the husbandry of core pet species, all of which help raise industry standards. Alongside this we hold Product Days, in which we provide training on specific ranges and product groups, which enables retailers to better understand the market and its products, and in turn provide a better service to their customers.

We host regular focus groups and workshops, in which retailers gain a better understanding of the needs of the consumer and how they can best be supplied. Through such events we are also able to monitor changes and developments in the market. Practical solutions Our support services go far beyond what many other wholesalers provide, and we have business partners who can help you with EPOS and shopfitting solutions. Our EPOS partner can help you make the most of your business, using software that can improve stock control, efficiency and margins while reducing costs. Effective shopfitting is a crucial element for any successful retail unit, and our partners have a wealth of experience, strategies and tactics to enable you to make the most out of any available space.

We have a range of specially built livestock units for retailers who are venturing into reptiles for the first time, and our shopfitting partners can help you whether you want a simple livestock unit, shelving, aquatic refit or even total shop refit.

Apart from advising on shop and shelf layout, we can also advise on best-selling products from a wide range of brands. This can only be achieved by face-toface contact, which is why our Field Sales Team makes it a point to visit you in your store, to discuss business opportunities and plan a route forward. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference, like the mini chocolate on your hotel pillow. With attention to such details, we also supply care sheets free of charge,

that you can hand out to customers, which contain relevant information and practical advice on keeping their new pet. These are very popular among our customers as it helps them adhere to the Animal Welfare Act. We also have a wide range of free instore Point of Sale (POS) support, in the form of posters, shelf talkers, shelf edges, wobblers and so on.

Don’t listen to us, listen to them “Over the past two years, we have grown from a small shop to a recognised brand; this couldn’t have been done without Peregrine Livefoods; the girls are always great to deal with. Then there’s Jason, the sales rep. Without him we wouldn’t be where we are today. From his friendly advice, product knowledge, recommendations, to his keeping us up to date on new products, deals and constant back-up… Jason is invaluable. We are where we are because of the team at Peregrine Livefoods.”

“I have been a reptile enthusiast since the age of 15. Early last year, I dreamt of quitting my Tree Surgery business and opening my own reptile shop. In October, I acquired my local reptile shop. The Peregrine rep and I had a chat, talked about good-selling products, slow movers, and came up with some good ranges. I was very impressed with his knowledge; he is a reptile breeder, not just a salesman. Best of all, returns or damaged stock are easily replaced or refunded.” Steve Brooks, Dragons Den Exotic Pet Centre, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Dave, Repti-lisious, Birkenhead “Peregrine have helped us grow our business from day one. They provide superb customer service as well as being flexible to our business needs. Especially the sales team, who will personally run down to put a lastminute product in with our order so we don’t disappoint our customers.”

“As we stock a large variety of dry goods lines, it is crucial that our suppliers can offer availability and flexibility. Peregrine helps maintain these levels as well as introduce new products, often on a weekly basis. Most importantly, Peregrine is reliable and will go out of their way to sort out any problems, if any arise.”

Training Courses

reptiles. Finally, ‘Brand Awareness’ gives a review of products and their uses, along with an overview of the manufacturer. Here are comments by those who have been on our courses:

We hold training courses throughout the year. Two basic courses introduce the concept of keeping reptiles, amphibians and inverts and include topics such as lighting, thermoregulation, heating, foods, caging and substrates. They also provide delegates with retailing strategies, empowering retailers with the confidence to start up in the reptile industry. The third course introduces the basics of keeping the five most common

“I have used Peregrine Livefoods since 2006, and they are my favourite wholesaler! The telesales ladies are lovely; the animal room staff know their stuff; and my rep is always there to help me improve sales with my business. They are a great support. Mandy, Little Beasties “The service from Kenny is second to none. When I first decided to get reptiles in the shop, he came to the shop. He helped me make sure I had the correct set-up, and we discussed in-depth the care and attention they would need. My livestock order came in on a Thursday, and he came to check they had arrived safely and in good condition. Anytime I have a question, I can give him a call, knowing that I am getting good, honest advice.” Lorraine, Wagtail Pet Supplies

“It was all done well, and the examples of products shown and diagrams drawn up were helpful. Handling the reptiles was good also, as we got to know what to expect when handling them in store”

“All the training was informative and well delivered. I feel much more confident and look forward to selling”

“Very good introduction if you are a beginner”

“Really good trainer; everyone really enjoyed the day”

“Very thorough explanations and practicals”

“It was very good, all-round training. As someone who knew nothing about reptiles, I have learned a lot”

“I learnt a lot in a short space of time” “You were very good and made it fun. Thank you”
