Tropifit Naturals Sticks Insect 140g

Tropifit Naturals Sticks Insect are natural treat sticks made with mealworm larvae, seeds, herbs, and nuts, designed for hamsters, mice, rats, gerbils, and other omnivorous small animals. Gently dried rather than baked, they retain more of the natural nutrients and plant compounds found in the ingredients.

What Makes These Different

These sticks contain no added sugar, colourants, or preservatives. The gentle drying process is used specifically to protect the natural integrity of the ingredients, making these a more considered treat option than many alternatives on the market.

Nutritional Role

Mealworm larvae (1.5%) provide a natural source of animal protein, which omnivorous small animals require as part of a balanced diet. A blend of seeds, nuts including peanuts (2.5%), and a wide range of herbs adds dietary variety and texture. The crude fibre content (7.7%) supports healthy gut function, while crude protein sits at 11.0% and crude fat at 5.5%.

Behavioural Benefits

Chewing and foraging on the sticks encourages natural feeding behaviour and provides mental stimulation for active small animals. This kind of enrichment can help reduce boredom in enclosures where opportunities for foraging are otherwise limited. The hemp fibre hanging string is safe if nibbled or consumed.
