Unlike standard dried mealworms, calci worms are naturally much higher in calcium — making them a superior choice for supporting bone health, egg development, and the nutritional needs of nesting birds and hedgehogs. They're also rich in protein and fat, giving them a similar energy profile to mealworms but with a significantly better calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. They're one of the most nutritionally complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/birds-wild-bird-wild-bird-treats\"\u003ewild bird treats\u003c\/a\u003e available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I feed calci worms to hedgehogs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — calci worms are an excellent food for hedgehogs. Offer a small handful (around 1–2 tablespoons) each evening as part of a varied diet alongside a quality hedgehog food. The high calcium content is particularly beneficial for hedgehogs, supporting strong bones and overall health. Avoid feeding mealworms as a primary hedgehog food, as their poor calcium-to-phosphorus ratio can cause metabolic bone disease over time — calci worms are a far safer and more nutritious alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich wild birds eat calci worms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide range of garden birds will readily take calci worms, including robins, blue tits, great tits, coal tits, long-tailed tits, house sparrows, chaffinches, bullfinches, dunnocks, nuthatches, blackbirds, song thrushes, woodpeckers, and wrens. They're particularly valuable during the spring breeding season when parent birds need high-calcium, high-protein food to raise healthy chicks. Place in a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/birds-wild-bird-wild-bird-feeders\"\u003ewild bird feeder\u003c\/a\u003e tray or on a bird table for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I feed calci worms dry or rehydrated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth work well. Dry calci worms are convenient and easy to scatter on a bird table or ground feeder tray. Rehydrating them in lukewarm water for 15–20 minutes makes them softer and more appealing — particularly for fledglings, hedgehogs, and species that prefer a moist food source. During hot weather, remove any uneaten rehydrated worms after a few hours to keep the feeding area hygienic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen is the best time to feed calci worms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCalci worms can be fed year-round, but they're especially valuable during two key periods: spring and early summer (when nesting birds need calcium for egg production and protein for raising chicks) and autumn and winter (when natural invertebrate food sources are scarce). For hedgehogs, offer them each evening from spring through to late autumn before hibernation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use the 3ltr tub?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 3ltr tub is resealable for convenience — simply open the lid and scoop or pour as needed. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the lid firmly closed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture. The generous 3ltr size means you'll have a long-lasting supply, making it ideal for households with multiple feeding stations or high wildlife activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre calci worms safe for all garden wildlife?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — calci worms are safe for wild birds, hedgehogs, and other garden wildlife. They contain no artificial additives or preservatives. As with all supplementary feeds, they should be offered as part of a varied diet rather than as the sole food source. Always provide fresh water alongside any dried food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat other Winston Wilds products pair well with calci worms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCalci worms work brilliantly alongside other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/birds-wild-bird-wild-bird-treats\"\u003ewild bird treats\u003c\/a\u003e from the Winston Wilds range — including fat balls, suet pellets, and energy cakes — to create a varied, nutritionally balanced feeding station.
