Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What ingredients are in Triple Bug Mix?
Ans: This treat is made with just three ingredients: dried mealworms, dried mealworm beetles, and dried black soldier fly larvae. The simple recipe delivers a high-protein, naturally appealing treat without any added grains, fillers, or artificial ingredients.
Q2: How much protein is in this treat?
Ans: This mix provides a minimum of 45% crude protein and 25% crude fat, along with a maximum of 14% crude fiber and 12% moisture. That makes it one of the more protein-dense treats you can offer your flock.
Q3: Which birds can eat this treat?
Ans: This mix is suitable for chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowl, making it a versatile option for mixed backyard flocks. If you keep other types of birds, it's a good idea to check with an avian veterinarian.
Q4: How much should I feed each bird?
Ans: Offer about a half to two tablespoons per bird each day, adjusting the amount based on your bird's size and age. Since this is a treat rather than a complete feed, it shouldn't make up the bulk of your flock's daily diet.
Q5: Do I need to give my birds grit with this treat?
Ans: Yes, whenever you feed coarse treats like this bug mix, it's a good idea to provide a source of natural stones or free-choice poultry grit. Grit helps birds break down and properly digest treats and other coarser feed particles more effectively.
Q6: Does this treat encourage natural behaviors in my flock?
Ans: Yes, scattering this bug mix on the ground or in a feeder encourages natural pecking and foraging instincts. This kind of enrichment can help keep backyard flocks active, engaged, and mentally stimulated throughout the day, no matter the season.
Q7: How should I store this product?
Ans: Store the bag in a cool, dry area away from insects and rodents, and reseal it tightly after each use. Since this feed is perishable, check for spoilage before every use and discard anything that looks or smells off before feeding.
