River shrimp

[Bradyloach]

So I went to the pet store and they had these! I bought some to see what you guys think. Any comments? If it's no good we're can I get good river shrimp

Do they have preservatives?

[Bradyloach]

They were on the shelf. So I dont know! Nothing says anything about that

[BarelyBreathing]

I'd call the company.

[Bradyloach]

Ya! Preservatives are bad

[infernalis]

Fluker's is a well known herp food supplier, I doubt that would have phosphates in it.

Is there an "ingredients" section on the label.

Yup I'll post it in 2 seconds

I found this...

Name: Fluker's Gourmet-Style River Shrimp

Ingredients: River Shrimp

Location: Petco

Price: 4.99/1.2 oz can

I was walking through my local Petco when I saw a sign in the reptile section that read "20% off all reptile food". Yay! So after looking and rejecting much of what was there I came across this can of river shrimp. The ingredient list passed muster. No strange additived, not packed in salt, no preservatives. It peaked my interest so I brought it home with me.

[Bradyloach]

Wow sweet! I just bought it to give her some selection

[BarelyBreathing]

Hmm, interesting. I buy their fruits, but I haven't tried their other stuff. Let me know how Cassie likes it.

[Bradyloach]

will do! umm, the ingredients say just river shrimp. apparently there just little, so ill put them on a plate in her enclosure. im excited :)

[Bradyloach]

Update on cassie

She tasted one, and then that was it! She didn't like it and didn't want to try no more.

I'm wondering if I can try feeding them in my bearded dragons salad?

[jarich]

Im just guessing, but I think these probably get packaged in nitrogen, or some other gas, to keep them from decomposing. That might be why they 'taste bad' to your monitor

[Bradyloach]

Nope it's all natural. It's a solid product by them

[jarich]

Nitrogen gas is natural, and as its not technically an ingredient, they arent required to list it. Its just considered packaging. But unless it was vacuum sealed, then there was some form of gas added to the can. Otherwise you would have some pretty gross looking rotten shrimp in there when you opened it.

[Bradyloach]

Oh :0 well she hates them so I'll try natural shrimp next
