Why choose JR Farm Protein Hermetia Hearts?

Many small rodents love searching for and collecting small treats. With these Protein Hearts, you can easily turn this into a fun moment. Thanks to their small size, you can easily portion the hearts and hide them in a foraging area, treat ball, sniffing box, or among natural decorations.

Hermetia larvae are a source of animal protein. This makes this snack particularly interesting for animals that naturally eat a mixed diet, such as hamsters, mice, and rats. The hearts also contain corn, wheat, carrot, flaxseed, nettle, various types of millet, sunflower seeds, and beetroot, among other ingredients.

Use the hearts as a supplement, not as the main food. A few small snack times per week are often enough to provide extra variety. This way, the snack remains special and you keep the daily feeding pattern manageable.

For which animals are the Protein Hearts suitable?

JR Farm Tiny Treats Protein Hearts Hermetia are especially suitable for rodents that are allowed mixed food and animal protein sources.

• Hamsters: as a small protein snack, reward, or foraging treat.
• Dwarf hamsters: as a small snack with Hermetia, easy to dose due to the compact size.
• Mice: as a small reward or snack to hide in a sniffing spot.
• Rats and pygmy rats: as a tasty training snack or search reward.
• Other mixed-feeding rodents: only when animal protein sources fit within the normal feeding pattern.

For true herbivores such as rabbits, guinea pigs, degus, and chinchillas, it is better to choose a snack without an animal protein source, such as a herbal snack, hay product, or vegetable snack.

Usage & dosage

Give JR Farm Protein-Hartjes Hermetia as a supplementary snack. Offer small amounts and adjust this according to the species, age, condition, and your animal's normal feeding pattern.

You can give the hearts by hand, but they are especially fun to hide. Place a few in the bedding, in a snuffle mat, in a foraging box, or among natural materials. Your animal will then have to search and sniff, making snack time longer and more interesting.

Store the packaging in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place so that the hearts continue to smell good and retain their texture.

How long does one package last?

The package contains 100 grams. The lifespan depends on how many animals you have and how often you offer the hearts. For example, if you give 2 grams per snack, you will get approximately 50 small snack moments from one package. With multiple animals or more frequent use, the package will naturally run out faster.
