Rodipet® Mealworms Protein Snack 70 g

Freeze-dried meal beetle larvae for omnivorous pets

Meal beetles can be found all over the world and their larvae are a favourite treat with many omnivorous rodents. And not without reason: mealworms are rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids. For this reason, they are also a great source of protein for pets. .

Animal protein...

...is an important part of the diet of omnivorous animals. Omnivorous animals are those whose natural diets consist of both plant-based and meat-based components. All species of hamsters and mice are part of this group.

Animal organisms are made up in part of essential amino acids, some of which cannot be found in plants. While these are of vital importance to a healthy body, omnivorous animals cannot produce them from scratch but depend on eating meat or other animal products to meet their needs. For this reason, a source of animal protein is an indispensable part of the diet of any omnivorous animal. As an alternative or addition to snack insects, you can also feed your pet dairy products, e. g. cottage cheese. Young and growing animals in particular need their reliable source(s) of animal protein. The older your pet gets the less animal protein they will need.

Especially aromatic and nutritious

Our Rodipet^® mealworms are carefully freeze-dried, which results in their retaining their flavour and nutrients far better than conventionally dried insects. Thus, it is not surprising to learn that many pets go totally wild for these larvae.

Feeding recommendation

Depending on the pet’s species and age, feed one to two mealworms between once a week and once a day – active young animals generally need more animal protein than retired seniors.
