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.
