Zooply Silkworms are dried insects for omnivorous rodents. A tasty treat alongside the daily main food for extra variety and protein. Read more.
Dried zijderupsen are an animal protein treat, mainly intended for omnivorous rodents. It's a popular extra that appeals to these animals' natural hunting instinct.
Zooply Zijderupsen consist of 100% dried, carefully packed in a resealable ziplock pack so freshness is well preserved.
These species are naturally omnivorous and can have zijderupsen as a protein-rich treat. Give a few now and then as a treat or hide them in the enclosure for extra enrichment.
No, rabbits and guinea pigs are strict herbivores and don't need animal protein. This product is not intended for them.
How much may I give?
A few pieces per time, a few times a week, is more than enough as a protein treat.
Why animal protein for these species?
Hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice are naturally omnivorous and eat insects in the wild too. This fits their natural diet.
How are zijderupsen packaged?
Zijderupsen come in a resealable ziplock pack, so you can easily open and close it more often without any loss of freshness.
Can I combine this with other treats?
Yes, goes well with other insect treats such as mealworms or crickets.
Zooply stands for quality. We specialise in herbs and treats — precisely the areas where things most often go wrong for many pets. That's why our range is deliberately small per product group: we only offer the best option, nothing less. And we use it ourselves, every day, with our own animals.
