River Shrimp as Reptile Food

Our river shrimp are a staple food for many fish and turtles. They are particularly enjoyed by tropical fish and marine fish.

This product will be sent in a sealed plastic tube containing salty water and river shrimp. Depending on the size of the order this tube will be housed in rectangular plastic tube to keep it from rolling in transit or fit tightly into a polystyrene box. The polystyrene will help keep the cold in during summer and the chill off during winter. They do best at 10C and don't handle extremes in temperature too well.

You'll love them because:

• We guarantee freshness or your money back
• They are farm bred in ethical conditions.
• They are pre-fed to ensure your reptile is getting a healthy and nutritious meal.
• Delivered straight to your door in good time.

We recommend river shrimp for the following animal types:

• Tropical Fish
• Crustaceans
• Marine fish
• Turtles

This is a saltwater product and could be added to the enclosure but we would advise straining the glassworm out of their water before feeding. The longer they are in the tube the dirtier their water will become and you don't want to add that to your enclosure. They are best stored at around 10C with no wind chill. A cool cellar or garage would be great, alternatively they could be kept in a fridge as long as it's not set too cold.

Livefood Freshness Guarantee

Nothing is more important than having a reliable live food delivery service, which is why we ship our live foods 5 days per week with fast couriers. Quality is assured as most of our live foods are packed the same day they are sent, and sent directly from the breeder to make sure they are in the best condition possible. However, as the parcels will be spending a day or two in transit there is a chance that they may not arrive in the best condition. For your peace of mind we have implemented the Livefood Freshness Guarantee! If you have any trouble with your live food delivery, the live food size, or quality, simply reach out to our team for a speedy resolution.
