Freeze-Dried Mealworms
Mealworms offer the natural nutrition many different aquatic amphibians and reptiles require, providing a high source of protein and essential amino acids. Because live mealworms are difficult to maintain in captivity and can be expensive, most pet store owners do not provide these nutritionally valuable prey items to their pets. Fluker's Freeze-Dried Mealworms can be used in combination with other Fluker's freeze-dried products to provide your pet with natural prey items without the mess and expense of live prey items.

PEOPLE ARE ASKING
What are Fluker’s Freeze Dried River Shrimp?
These are whole freshwater river shrimp that have been freeze dried to preserve their natural flavor, texture, and nutrients—offering a protein-rich treat for a variety of aquatic and exotic pets.
Why feed freeze dried river shrimp to your pet?
Freeze dried shrimp are easy to store, lightweight, and mess-free—no thawing or special handling needed. They’re a great option for pet owners who want a simple yet nutritious feeding alternative.
Are they nutritious for a pet?
Yes, freeze drying locks in essential nutrients like protein, omega-3s, and calcium, though we still recommend supplementing if your pet has specific dietary needs (especially reptiles that need added calcium).
Which animals can eat freeze dried river shrimp?
Turtles, fish (freshwater and saltwater), frogs, newts, and exotic pets like sugar gliders, birds, and reptiles that enjoy seafood-based protein.
Do I need to soak or rehydrate them before feeding?
You can feed them dry right out of the container, but soaking in warm water for a few minutes can help soften them up—especially helpful for younger or softer-mouthed pets. Or check out our moist canned insect options!
Should I refrigerate them after opening?
No refrigeration required. Just keep the lid tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and crunch.

Freeze dried river shrimp have a long shelf life—usually 1 to 2 years, depending on storage conditions. Always check the expiration date on the label.
