500g Chubby Dried Mixes With our Chubby Dried Mixes, you get the best of both worlds when feeding your pet or garden birds. This mix is sure to enrich your pet's diet giving them a boost of Protein and Calcium in one handy mixed bag. Black Soldier Fly Larvae Chubby Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae are comparable to dried mealworms but have a much higher calcium value. Research has shown that natural feed with balanced Ca:P ratios (a perfect treat for hedgehogs) increases animal health and contributes to stronger bones and shiny feathers. Calcium is especially important for laying birds such as chickens. Lack of calcium can result in poor laying, and soft shells and can cause behaviour problems such as egg eating. The high protein content in our dried mealworms can help produce bigger and more flavoursome eggs! Protein is essential to boost a flock's protein intake through the moulting season ( between autumn & spring). Your flock's immune system will be down, mealworms are an excellent choice to boost their immune system & will help in rapid feather growth. Mealworms can and will be enjoyed all year round however, winter is the hardest time of year for our wildlife & backyard flocks. Each of our mealworms contains just over 50% Protein! So just a handful per bird per day will be enough to keep your flock warmer in colder temperatures. Although you can buy live mealworms, dried mealworms are just as good with the added benefit of easy and long-lasting storage. Any insectivorous (soft-billed) bird will love mealworms. The majority of passerines (perching birds) will enjoy them too, especially when they are feeding their young & the protein is essential for their growth. Packaging 500g of Chubby Mixes come in a clear plastic bag. Remember that the bigger the pack of dried Mixes you purchase the cheaper the price per kilogram becomes.
