Product Information

Full details

The Johnston & Jeff Mealworm & Calciworm Combo is a high-protein, calcium-rich supplemental feed designed for bird enthusiasts looking to provide essential nutrition to wild garden birds throughout the year. By blending dried mealworms with black soldier fly larvae, this product helps support feather health, muscle repair, and egg development in a variety of species. While it is an excellent nutritional boost, users should note that as a dried product, it requires occasional rehydration during the spring breeding season to ensure it is soft enough for young fledglings to consume safely.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I feed this to birds all year round?

Yes, this combo is formulated for year-round use to support birds through all seasons.

Why are calciworms better than regular mealworms?

Calciworms have significantly higher calcium levels, which are essential for egg production and bone development.

Do I need to soak the worms before putting them in the feeder?

Only if you are feeding them to fledglings in the spring; otherwise, they can be served dry.

Which birds will eat this mix?

Most insectivorous and omnivorous garden birds, such as robins, thrushes, and tits, will readily consume this mix.

How should I store the 1kg bag?

Store in a cool, dry, and dark location, preferably in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Troubleshooting

Birds are ignoring the feed

Try mixing the insects into their preferred seed blend or fat balls to encourage them to try the new food.

Insects appear hard or brittle

This is normal for dried products; soak them in warm water for 20 minutes to soften the texture.

Excessive moisture in the storage bag

Ensure the bag is kept away from direct sun and humidity; if the product smells musty, dispose of it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly higher calcium content than standard bird treats
  • Promotes healthy feather condition and muscle repair
  • Highly palatable to a wide variety of garden bird species
  • Simple, natural ingredient list without unnecessary fillers
  • Provides essential nutrients when natural food sources are scarce

Cons

  • Requires manual soaking in warm water for baby birds
  • Dried texture may be less appealing if not managed properly during hot weather
  • Higher price point compared to basic seed mixes due to premium insect content

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the product fresh, store the bag in a cool, dry place, ensuring the seal is tight to prevent moisture from entering and causing mold. You can offer this food in open tray feeders, ground feeders, or mixed into a standard seed blend. Because it is a 1kg concentrated insect blend, it is best used as a treat or a daily supplement. If you notice birds are leaving the feed, ensure your feeder is kept clean and that no moisture has reached the remaining stock, as dried insects can attract pests if they become damp.
