How to feed

Offer small quantities on a clean bird table or feeding tray, or in a feeder designed to hold dried insect food. They can be soaked in water for 20–30 minutes before serving to soften and rehydrate them. Prepare only what is needed and clear away uneaten soaked food promptly before it spoils.

Keep fresh drinking water available and clean feeding equipment regularly.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, away from moisture. Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack. Do not offer damp or mouldy food.

The calci worms are as popular with the starling as the mealworms that I usually feed them. I think that they are better value so I will buy them again.

The image they use of this item is misleading. The image is of dried mealworms and the name of the product is dried calciworms. I emailed them to explain this and they argued with me. Terrible customer service.
