FAQs
Are these suet bites suitable for all garden birds?
Yes, they are designed with a mix of 12 ingredients to attract a wide variety of UK garden birds, including common species like tits, robins, and sparrows.
Can I feed these suet bites all year round?
Absolutely. The 'All Seasons' formula provides high energy and nutrition suitable for birds during spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
How should I store the suet bites?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the packaging is resealed tightly after opening.
What is the Calvita Vitamin Mix?
The Calvita Vitamin Mix is a blend of essential vitamins and minerals added to the suet bites to support the overall health and wellbeing of garden birds.
Are these suet bites messy to use?
No, they are designed as mess-free, bite-sized pieces which are easy to dispense and result in less waste compared to some other suet products.
What type of feeder is best for these suet bites?
They are compatible with most standard suet feeders, bird tables, or can be scattered on the ground. A feeder designed for suet pellets or balls is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Birds are not eating the suet bites.
Ensure the placement of the feeder or feeding station is safe and visible to birds. Try moving the feeder to a different location. Check if other food sources are more readily available. Ensure the suet bites are fresh and have been stored correctly.
Squirrels or larger animals are consuming the food.
Use a squirrel-proof feeder or place the feeding station in a location that is difficult for squirrels to access, such as on a smooth pole with a baffle.
Suet bites seem to be melting or becoming sticky.
This can happen in very hot weather. Store unused suet bites in a cooler place. While the product is designed for all seasons, extreme heat can affect texture. Birds will still eat it if slightly softened.
