4Lbs Chubby Dried Silkworm Pupae

Dried Silkworm Pupae are a 100% natural, high quality, high protein nutritional crunchy treat that can be fed to many animals including wild birds, hedgehogs, turtles, koi and other fish and many reptiles. As well as being naturally high in protein they also have high levels of calcium, nutrients, vitamins and minerals and other essential fatty acids.

We often find that animals can take a while to get used to this new taste. Why not try to crush or grind our Silkworm Pupae into dust to make a high protein supplement that can be added to their normal food? They can also be soaked in warm water for around 20-30 minutes to rehydrate them and make them easier to eat.

Silkworm pupae have been said to be especially beneficial in the growth and colour enhancement of Koi Carp. They also provide better slime coat protection to resist parasite and bacterial infections resulting in better, bigger, healthier fish.

Reptile expert, A. Lanois, says that silkworms are, "naturally the healthiest insect you can get" because of their nutritional value and low-fat content.

Chubby Mealworms

My chickens behave like these are potato chips. They go CRAZY for these. I give them a cupful just in the morning, and they know it, so even the shy ones will swarm over me, eat from my hands, and even try to dive into the bag after I open the lid on the can I keep them in.

Most importantly, though, when I started feeding these to my birds, their egg production went up significantly. In 2023 I had been getting almost no eggs for a year, even from my young birds. Of 17 chickens, I got 3 eggs/day on a good day. I switched to organic food and these chubby dried worms, and the NEXT DAY I had 9 eggs!!! I believe their previous food lacked protein. Now I have more new hens (along with a few older ones). I have 20 hens and get between 12-15 eggs/day.
