We all know why our pets love ourย great-tasting Mealworms, but what about ourย Black Soldier Fly Larvae?
Chubby Driedย Black Soldier Fly Larvae are comparable to dried mealworms but have aย much higher nutritional value. They haveย 23 to 61 times more calciumย than other commonly fed feeder insects and naturally feature a well-balanced calcium-phosphorus ratio. Research has shown that natural feed with balanced Ca:P ratios increases animal health and contributes to stronger bones and shiny feathers
Calciumย is especially important for laying birds such as chickens. Lack of calcium can result in poor laying, soft shells and can cause behavour problems such as egg eating as the chicken tries to recoup the much-needed calcium. Feedingย BSFLย as a treatย isย an excellent way to increase these vital nutrients and we can assure you, they will soon become a favourite!ย
Calciย โwormsย are in fact the larvae of theย Black Soldier Flyย (Hermetia illucens). Despiteย carrying a somewhat aggressive-sounding name, they areย harmlessย and when alive do notย bite.ย During its larva phase,ย which lasts a few weeks,ย it feeds off various kindsย of organic material, convertingย this to proteins. Theย adult fly is able to entirelyย live off the nutritionalย reserves it had builtย up as a larva. This isย why Dried CalciWorms have
such a high nutritional value.
A whole variety of animals love theย natural goodnessย in all our 'Chubby' productsย including wild birds, reptiles, fish, hedgehogs, budgies, sugar gliders and many more. Although you can buy liveย Black Soldier Fly Larvae, driedย BSFLwormsย are just as good with the added benefit of easy and long-lasting storage. Driedย BSFLย are also a lot better for anyone that is squeamish!
