Dried Mealworms are typically higher in protein; however, Calci Worms are much higher in fat and, of course, calcium. In order to keep your wild birds happy and healthy throughout the year you can either alternate between the two types of worms during different seasons, or mix the two together all year round.
Calci Worms are ideal to feed in the weeks leading up to breeding and egg laying seasons. The added calcium can aid in producing healthy, thick egg shells to keep growing chicks secure. Many birds don’t store extra calcium so it’s important that Calci Worms are offered as close to this season as possible.
During fledgling season and leading into the summer months, the high protein content in both Dried Mealworms and Dried Calciworms gives birds much needed extra energy whilst they moult, and for growth.
The healthy balance of calcium and phosphorus in Calci Worms means that, unlike mealworms, they are perfectly safe for hedgehogs to eat. The high levels of calcium, fat and protein in Calci Worms make for a nutritious and tasty meal for our spiky friends.
An excess of calcium or phosphorus in wild bird diets can cause problems for wild birds, however, calci worms have balanced levels of both nutrients, providing your garden birds with just the right amount of each.
