🐛 Calciworms vs. Mealworms: Better for wildlife AND your wallet? 🐛
We’ve just started stocking Calciworms alongside our usual Mealworms, and there is a massive health (and price!) difference between the two.
If you want to give your local wildlife the absolute best premium nutrition, making the switch to Calciworms is a total game-changer.
Here is why:
⭐⭐ Why Calciworms Win for Birds ⭐⭐
Mealworms are naturally very high in phosphorus but low in calcium. Feeding too many can actually drain calcium out of a bird's bones. Calciworms (the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly) have a massive, natural calcium boost. This is exactly what wild birds need right now for laying strong eggs and helping fast-growing chicks develop healthy skeletons.
🦔 A Vital Warning for Hedgehogs! 🦔
If you get hedgehogs visiting your garden, please avoid feeding them mealworms entirely. The poor calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in mealworms causes a painful bone disease in hedgehogs that can be fatal. Calciworms are a much safer, protein-packed, calcium-rich alternative that keeps their bones strong.
💰 The Best Part? They are cheaper! 💰
Usually, premium bird treats cost more, but our new Calciworms come in at just £9.50/kg compared to £14.00/kg for mealworms. Better for the birds, better for the hedgehogs, and better for your wallet.
📍 Pop into Bruton Country Centre and grab a bag to feed your garden visitors the good stuff this week!
