Dendrobena (species Dendrobaena veneta, syn. Eisenia hortensis) is a robust earthworm, highly valued as live food thanks to its high protein content and strong palatability. Packaged here in size S, the pack contains about 35 to 45 individuals, ideal for regular feeding while stimulating natural hunting behavior.

Key benefits
