Protein Cocktail for Mice, Hamsters, Gerbils & Rats

JR Farm Protein Cocktail for Mice, Hamsters, Gerbils & Rats

JR Farm Protein Cocktail is an animal protein snack for mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, and rats. The mix consists of dried grasshoppers, dried mealworms, and dried shrimp. This makes the snack particularly interesting for rodents that naturally also utilize animal protein sources in their diet.

The different textures make the snack fun to give on its own, but also to hide in a foraging area. You can scatter a small amount in the bedding, use it in a snack game, or offer it directly from your hand as a reward.

The package contains 10 grams. Because this mix is concentrated and high in protein, use it as a small supplementary snack alongside your daily main diet.

Why choose JR Farm Protein Cocktail?

Mice, hamsters, dwarf hamsters, gerbils, and rats naturally do not eat only plant-based ingredients. Depending on the species, they also seek insects, larvae, and other small animal protein sources. JR Farm Protein Cocktail fits in nicely with that mixed diet.

The mix contains three different animal ingredients: grasshoppers, mealworms, and shrimp. As a result, your animal receives not just one type of snack, but multiple scents and textures to explore. This makes the snack very suitable for foraging behavior.

Use the Protein Cocktail primarily in small quantities. A few pieces are often enough to make snack time interesting. This keeps the snack special and helps maintain a clear overview of the daily feeding pattern.

For which animals is this protein snack suitable?

JR Farm Protein Cocktail is suitable for rodents on a mixed diet. Adjust the amount according to the species, age, condition, and daily main food.

• Mice: as a small animal snack or search reward.
• Dwarf hamsters: offered as a small protein snack, in well-dosed portions.
• Hamsters: as a varied snack with insects and shrimp.
• Gerbils: as a small source of animal protein alongside the daily diet.
• Rats and pygmy rats: as a reward, training treat, or foraging treat.

For true herbivores such as rabbits, guinea pigs, degus, and chinchillas, you would prefer a plant-based snack, such as herbs, flowers, vegetable flakes, or hay products.

Usage & dosage

Give JR Farm Protein Cocktail as an additional snack. Scatter a small amount in a foraging area, hide some pieces in the bedding, or give a few pieces by hand as a reward.

For small animals such as mice and dwarf hamsters, a very small amount at a time is sufficient. For rats, you can dose slightly more generously, depending on the number of animals and their overall feeding pattern. Do not use this snack as the main food, but as a protein-rich supplement.

How long does one package last?

The package contains 10 grams. If you use approximately 0.25 grams per snack, you will get about 40 small snacks from one package. At 0.5 grams per time, that is approximately 20 snacks. The actual duration of use depends on the number of animals and how often you offer the snack.

Compound

Dried grasshoppers 34%, dried mealworms 33%, dried shrimp 33%.

Analytical constituents

What does this compound mean?

This snack consists entirely of animal protein sources. The grasshoppers, mealworms, and shrimp provide aroma, texture, and variety. Due to the high protein and fat content, this mix is best given as a small snack or reward.

The Protein Cocktail is therefore not a daily staple food, but a supplementary snack for animals that are allowed to receive animal protein. Its value also lies in the behavior it stimulates: searching, sniffing, gathering, and quietly engaging with small bites.
