Live large bloodworms are a high-nutrition staple livefood for a wide range of aquatic animals. Supplied in a 100ml portion, these are suited to keepers feeding axolotls, turtles, large fish, and aquatic frogs as part of a regular diet.
Sourcing and Nutrition
These bloodworms are farm-bred under controlled conditions and dispatched directly from the breeder. They are pre-fed before packing to maximise their nutritional content on arrival, meaning your animals are getting the most from every feeding.
Suitable For
- Axolotls
- Turtles and aquatic turtles
- Large fish
- Aquatic frogs
Packaging and Transit
Bloodworms arrive in a sealed plastic bag containing 100ml of water to keep them viable during delivery. During warmer months, the outer box may include additional ventilation; in colder periods, a heat pack may be included to maintain a safe temperature in transit.
Storage and Feeding
Keep the sealed packet refrigerated and away from direct sunlight or draughts. Unopened, they can be stored in the fridge for 5–7 days.
- Use a sieve to separate bloodworms from the water before feeding
- Once the packet is opened, use the contents immediately
- Remove any uneaten food daily to maintain water quality and prevent decay
Live bloodworms offer a nutritional profile that dried or frozen alternatives cannot match, making them a practical choice for keepers who want to support natural feeding behaviour and healthy digestion in their aquatic animals.
