Mini Wax Worms
Mini wax worms are the hatch cultures of the greater wax worm and are produced on our farm.
Mini Waxworms are a quality livefood that are suitable for the smaller softbills and could prove an essential livefood for hatchling softbills for that critical period of their lives - between two and five days.
Mini Waxworms are simply the hatchlings of the greater waxworm. They are full of the nutritious goodness of the standard waxworm but the mini waxworms are much smaller. There are approximately two thousand five hundred mini waxworms in each of our containers.
As well as being much easier for the hatchling chicks to swallow and digest, another advantage of the Mini Waxworm is, as the hatchling chick develops and grows, so too will the mini waxworms as they continue to eat the food they arrive in.

Waxworms for Aviary & Wild Birds
Waxworms have been a favourite food source amongst bird keepers for many years. Their colour and soft skin make them extremely appealing to insectivorous birds. Waxworms are an excellent year round food source for birds, but in particular, they are a favourite choice during the breeding season. This is because waxworms have soft skin that makes them easily digestable and their excellent nutritional value gives the insatiable chicks the goodness they need to give them the strength to develop and grow.
Not only are waxworms an excellent choice amongst bird keepers, they are rapidly becoming a favourite amongst British bird lovers. Waxworms attract wild birds to their gardens especially during the breeding season. But waxworms can also play an important role for our non-migratory species during the bleak winter months when food sources are extremely scarce and the ground is frozen solid.
Because waxworms have a high moisture content and are rich in both protein and fat they can play a vital role in the survival of our nations dwindling bird population, providing them with the valuable nutrition they need to see them through the winter months.
