Can i crush up freeze dried blood worms and give them to my baby bettas2007-11-24 23:10:36Answers:

You could try it if they're more than a few weeks old, but if they're newly hatched, they may not eat them. In many young animals, the feeding response is triggered by movement of the "prey" item. You should have a culture of infusoria or microworms prepared for when the fry become freeswimming, and newly hatched brine shrimp following that.

See the link below for an approximate timetable of raising fry and feeding them:

yup betas love blood worms .its like a snak or treat for them...but also feed them their specialy made beta food they sell at all pet stores

If you can crush them fine enough. Those fry have very tiny mouths,and dried worms are tough.

Yea go on ahead! Have FuN!

Sur. Baby bettas love them if they are atleast 2 weeks old. I used to have a senior betta(he die today:'() and they eat premium food for bettas.

Freeze dried bloodworms do not have a lot of nutritional content, but if it's just for a snack, then it might work. Depending on their age, though, they may not eat them. Newly hatched fry absolutely must have live food. You can start with infusoria, vinegar eels, and microworms, and then after they are a week or 2 old you can start giving baby brine shrimp as well. I don't start trying to introduce powdered dry food until they are about a month old. Before then, they don't really see it as food.
