SHG GAMMARUS - Natural food complement for water turtles and reptiles
Gammarus is a natural food composed of cold water amphodes selected in pollutant-free environments, washed and dried with advanced technologies that preserve nutritional properties and guarantee microbiological safety. Rich in proteins (46%) and natural mineral salts, it is an ideal food complement for water turtles and other reptiles, favoring the healthy development of the carapace if associated with correct UVB lighting.
Fundamental characteristics
100% gammarus washed and dried
High protein content (46%)
Rich in natural mineral salts
Ideal as a complement to aquatic and reptilic turtles
Controlled processing to maintain nutritional quality and safety
Gammarus is a natural food complement obtained from amphodes typical of cold water courses, collected in controlled and non-contaminated environments. Immediately after fishing, crustaceans are washed and subjected to a technologically advanced drying process that allows:
Preserve high biological value proteins
Keep the natural content of minerals
Reduce the risk of pathogenic contamination
Guarantee stability and conservability of the product
This process ensures a secure, natural and nutritionally valid food for water animals and reptiles.
Composition
Ingredients
Gammarus washed and dried
Pure product, no dyes, preservatives or chemical additives. The raw material is not genetically modified and maintains the original characteristics of the crustacean.
Nutritional analysis
Protein: 46.0%
Fats: 8.5%
Fibers: 6.2%
Ashes: 19.5%
The high percentage of protein supports muscle growth and maintenance.
The fat content provides energy easily available.
The high altitude of ash means a significant presence of natural mineral salts, including football and phosphorus, fundamental for skeletal development.
Nutritional and functional benefits
Structural growth support Thanks to the balanced protein intake
Natural football and minerals source, essential for bones and carapace
High palatability, stimulates the food instinct
Dry natural food, easily conservable
Carapace development support If associated with correct UVB lighting in water turtles
For turtles, the optimal calcium assimilation always requires adequate exposure to UVB light, an indispensable element for the synthesis of vitamin D3 and the correct mineralization of the carapace.
Species indicated
Ornamental aquatic turtles
Water and semi-aquatic reptiles
Medium and large carnivorous fish (such as protein integration)
How to use
Administer as a food complement within a varied and balanced diet.
Offer adequate amount to the size of the animal, avoiding excesses to avoid altering water quality.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from humidity and direct light.
Do not use as a single long-term food: a diversified diet is recommended for proper nutrition.
Why choose Gammarus
Gammarus represents a natural and safe choice for those who want to integrate turtle and reptiles with a food rich in proteins and minerals. It is particularly suitable for breeders and enthusiasts looking for a simple product, free of additives and worked with modern technologies that guarantee quality and safety.
Thanks to its composition, it contributes concretely to the maintenance of structural health, balanced growth and the general well-being of aquatic animals.
