Pinkies are the most popular frozen insects and are a good rearing food for young birds. Pinkies have soft skin and are highly digestible.
Buffalo worms are very nutritious because of their high protein content, and they also have a low fat content. They have a nut flavor and birds love them. It is therefore excellent food for all insectivorous birds, small reptiles, fish, salamanders and frogs.Buffalo worms are easily digestible (the chitin skin is less tough than mealworms).
The wax moth larvae are very high in protein and fat compared to other food animals. They therefore provide extra energy to our birds. Wax moths have a low chitin content (the hard skin in eg mealworms) and are therefore easily digestible.
Crickets are excellent food for reptiles, fish and many types of birds. But also small insectivorous mammals, such as rodents. Crickets have a high nutritional value. Due to their harder shell, they have the ability to clean the intestinal tract of young birds. Excess mucus in the intestine is carried along during intestinal transit, which is especially important in purely insect-eating birds.
Due to the excellent nutritional and antibiotic values, the hermetia larvae are the ideal food for our birds. The larvae are easily digestible and have many advantages over other insects. Once your birds are used to the larvae, they don't want anything else. No surprise, when you see how nutritious hermetia larvae are!
Some advantages about hermetia larvae:
have a very high calcium content (8%), up to 10 times higher than mealworms or crickets! which is good for the bones and eggs of our birds
contain high concentrations of lauric acid, a natural antibiotic for our birds
have a very high excellent nutritional value and a naturally well-balanced calcium-phosphorus ratio
reduces feather pecking and ensures a beautiful shiny plumage
Make sure your birds have variety in food animals. This gives you a better general composition of nutrients. This prevents one-sided feeding and certainly benefits the general condition of your birds.
