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.

They are also very popular as fishing bait.

Wax moths are particularly appreciated for their bright color and texture.

To offer a well-varied diet, you can also offer other food animals together such as pinkies | buffalos | mealworms | crickets | grasshoppers | hermetia ...

Wax moths, along with pinkies, buffalo and mealworms, are the most commonly fed to our birds.

Make sure your birds have variety in food animals. This gives you a better general composition of nutrients. This prevents one-sided feeding and will certainly benefit the general condition of your birds.
