Calci Worms are the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly. Calci is short for Calcium as they contain around 50 times more calcium than other invertebrates such as the mealworms. Because of this they can be fed as a treat to Hedgehogs.
Best used as part of a balanced diet and not fed to excess. Calcium is especially important for egg laying birds and all growing vertebrates including squirrels and hedgehogs. Calcium deficiency can result in poor soft shells in laying birds and a potentially fatal bone disorder known as metabolic bone disease in Hedgehogs. Feeding calcium worms as part of a balanced diet is one way to increase consumption of this vital nutrient.
Calcium worms are a great treat for hedgehogs due to the high calcium content, as well as wild birds, reptiles and fish.
