Description

Dried Calci Worms are the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly, specially processed to retain high levels of calcium and energy. The ‘calci’ name reflects their standout nutrition - these Dried Calci Worms offer around 50 times more calcium as Dried Mealworms. This makes them a superb supplement for wild birds needing extra minerals.

Note that you should always soak Dried Calci Words in water (cold or warm) for at least 30 minutes before putting them out in your garden for birds to feed on.

Dried Calci Worms can also be put out at night for Hedgehogs, but not in large quantities - and always soak them first in water.

Birds attracted by this food:

  • Blackbirds

Whether you’re seasoned at feeding birds in your garden or just beginning to provide for garden wildlife, our Dried Calci Worms are easy to use, shelf-stable, and highly attractive to a wide variety of species. Having soaked them in water for at least 30 minutes, scatter them on a ground tray, place them on a bird table, or offer them in a shallow dish, and the birds will soon find them irresistible.

Note: you should only use bird tables and ground feeders if they’re cleaned very regularly – see here for more info https://www.vinehousefarm.co.uk/hygiene.

In addition to their calcium boost, these worms provide a useful balance of nutrients. They are high in fat, which is helpful in colder periods, and have good levels of protein. Many softbill species, such as Blackbirds, Robins and Starlings eat Calci Worms.

Over time, you’ll find that adding Dried Calci Worms to your bird feeding strategy helps support better bone and eggshell health, enhances energy reserves, and diversifies the diet you can offer to garden birds.
