Frozen bloodworms slabs are back and just £10 for 500grams

✅ Nutritional Benefits
• Rich in protein → Supports growth, muscle development, and energy.
• Contains essential amino acids → Helps in tissue repair and overall health.
• High in iron & hemoglobin → Aids oxygen transport in the bloodstream (especially beneficial for carnivorous species).
• Moisture content → Helps keep fish hydrated compared to dry foods.

✅ Health & Digestive Benefits
• Easier to digest than some pellet or flake foods.
• Provides dietary variety, reducing the risk of nutritional deficiencies.
• Encourages natural hunting/feeding behaviors in fish.

✅ Practical Benefits
• Safer than live bloodworms → Freezing kills parasites, bacteria, and pathogens.
• Convenient to store → Long freezer life compared to live or fresh food.
• Less mess than live worms in the tank.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
• Should be used as a supplement to a balanced diet, not the sole food source.
• Some fish may become “picky eaters” if fed bloodworms too often.
• Overfeeding can cause digestive issues (like bloating) due to their richness.
• Always thaw before feeding to avoid shocking fish with icy chunks.

👉 In short: Frozen bloodworms are a nutritious, safe, and convenient treat that can boost health and enhance coloration when used as part of a varied diet.

📢 Friendly Reminder.

Just a quick note to say we are closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.
I know Wednesday isn’t a new thing, but without fail someone messages to say they’re outside wondering where I am…
Also, a big sorry for being a bit quiet on here lately — the shop has been incredibly busy (as many of you have witnessed while patiently waiting to be served). Facebook has had to take a tiny step back while I’ve been keeping things running in real life.
My replies have been slower and I’ll try pick up on that.

Thank you for your patience, your messages and please save yourself the trip on a Wednesday and Sunday 😉

🎉 Sunday, we need to talk…

After weeks of umming and ahhing, deep thoughts and chats we’ve decided… today will be our last open Sunday for a while! 😮

Some Sundays have been fab, some have been “meh”, and with the summer holidays upon us (aka the quiet season), we’re giving Sundays a well-earned nap. 😴💤

BUT don’t panic – we’re not saying goodbye forever! We’ll be keeping a close eye on things and might just pop back open on Sundays when the cosy winter rush kicks in. ❄️☕️

Until then – happy Sundaying elsewhere, and we’ll see you the rest of the week as usual! 🙌💛
