Wombaroo Insectivore Rearing Mix 1kg

Balanced, high-protein diet for rearing or supplementing insectivorous and carnivorous birds. This includes magpies, kookaburras, birds of prey, seabirds, frogmouths, wrens, robins and swallows.

All these birds obtain energy from the high levels of protein in their natural diet, from sources including insects, worms, spiders, small animals or fish. Grains such as rice and wheat are not appropriate diet ingredients for insect and meat-eating birds.

Benefits

• High Protein – 52% protein, the highest level of any commercial bird diet .
• Calcium for Bones – balances meat and egg food mixes.
• Ideal Live Food Substitute – replicates the protein content of an insect or whole prey diet, including amino acids and taurine.
• Low in Carbohydrates – no wheat, rice or cereal fillers.
