Dried River Shrimp (Gammarus) for Birds, Turtles & Fish | High Protein Natural Feed

Dried River Shrimp (Gammarus) – High Protein Natural Feed

Dried River Shrimp, often known as Gammarus or Siberian shrimp, are a 100% natural, nutrient-rich food source packed with high-quality protein and essential minerals. With an impressive 58–63% protein content and healthy natural fats (approximately 11%), they provide a powerful nutritional boost for a wide range of animals.

Carefully dried to preserve their natural goodness, these shrimp contain no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives — making them a clean, safe, and highly digestible feeding option.


Why Choose Dried River Shrimp?

  • High Protein (58–63%) – Supports muscle growth and overall vitality.
  • Rich in Natural Fats (11%) – Provides essential energy.
  • Loaded with Essential Minerals – Supports bone strength and feather condition.
  • 100% Natural – No additives or preservatives.
  • Water-Friendly – Will not cloud aquarium or pond water.

Dried River Shrimp for Wild Birds & Poultry

Dried river shrimp are particularly beneficial for insect-eating wild birds such as:

  • Robins
  • Bluebirds
  • Blackbirds
  • Thrushes

The high protein and mineral content supports feather growth, energy levels, and breeding condition. They are also an excellent supplement for backyard poultry, helping to maintain strong feathers and overall health.

Serve on bird tables, mix into seed blends, or scatter on the ground for easy access.


Ideal for Turtles, Terrapins & Aquatic Species

Dried Gammarus shrimp are widely used as a staple or supplemental food for:

  • Turtles
  • Terrapins
  • Tropical fish
  • Koi carp
  • Goldfish

They promote shell health, vibrant colouration, and natural growth. Because they do not break down quickly in water, they help maintain clear aquarium and pond conditions.


Feeding Guide

For Birds & Poultry:

  • Offer as a treat alongside a balanced diet.
  • Mix with seeds or other protein sources.
  • Provide fresh water at all times.

For Turtles & Fish:

  • Feed in moderation as part of a varied diet.
  • Avoid overfeeding to maintain optimal water quality.
  • Suitable for both aquarium and pond environments.

Perfect Year-Round Nutritional Support

Dried river shrimp are suitable for all-season feeding. They are especially valuable during:

  • Breeding and nesting periods
  • Feather moulting cycles
  • Cold months when natural food sources are limited

Whether you are caring for wild garden birds, poultry, aquatic turtles, or ornamental fish, dried river shrimp provide a natural, high-protein feeding solution that supports health, growth, and vitality.
