Default where to buy dried shrimp

hi, i have a young female robo that (i think) doesn't like mealworms. I know I can feed shrimp as an alternative but don't know where to buy them.
I'm not 100% sure but just in case I'd like to find out where to buy them! It's kind of annoying tho bc I just bought her a brand new bag of them and she refuses them. I was thinking about feeding them to the birds but any other ideas?

you can find dried shrimp in the wild bird section of most pysical and online pet shops. I got mine from p@h. Avoid any sold for human consumption as they could contain added ingredients like preservatives etc. You can also try her with other dried insects , Rodipet have a good variety but shipping is on the expensive side.

If your hammie wont eat mealworms, I’d feed them to wild birds. The protein is good for them in this weather.

I think Amazon sell them - along with crickets etc! I decided to go with freeze dried chicken instead and get these. For cats, but I looked long and hard for something that didn't have anything else added and was just freeze-dried chicken. Small pieces so ideal. They don't keep too long once the bag is opened though - 3 weeks I think. So you waste some of it - but they're not too expensive.

Rosewood also sell shrimp cookies - a nice treat maybe occasionally our hammy loved those.

I am not sure a lot of hamsters like dried insects or shellfish etc - maybe they smell funny from being preserved or something. They always seem to like fresh food though. Our last hammy regularly had fresh meat if we had it - a bit of chicken or beef (plain, no sauces or gravy) if we had a roast. He also had pheasant and grouse! Can't give it to our current syrian as he pouches it rather than eating it there and then and it would go off in his nest somewhere.

I got my dried shrimps from p@h from the wild bird aisle - although I find they smell really bad/fishy although my Russian loves them (however Syrian hates them).

I'm pretty sure rat rations also sell dried shrimp
