11lb Chubby Dried Silkworm Pupae – High-Protein Treat for Birds, Reptiles & Fish
Chubby Dried Silkworm Pupae are a natural, high-protein animal treat suitable for a range of species, including wild birds, hedgehogs, turtles, koi and other fish, and many reptiles. With naturally occurring protein, calcium, vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and essential fatty acids, they offer a convenient way to add variety and nutritional value to an animal's regular diet.
Some animals may need time to become accustomed to the taste and texture of dried silkworm pupae. They can be offered whole as a crunchy treat, crushed or ground into a powder to mix with regular food, or soaked in warm water for approximately 20–30 minutes to rehydrate them and make them easier to eat.

Flexible Feeding Options
Dried silkworm pupae can be used in different ways depending on the animal and how it prefers to eat. Whole pupae provide a crunchy treat, while grinding them into a powder creates a convenient high-protein supplement that can be incorporated into normal food. For animals that find the dried texture difficult to eat, soaking the pupae in warm water for around 20–30 minutes can rehydrate them and make them easier to consume.
For Koi and Other Fish
Silkworm pupae are also used as a nutritional treat for koi and other fish. They have been associated with supporting koi growth and colour enhancement, while the supplied product information also notes their use in supporting slime coat protection against parasite and bacterial infections.
