What is Hog Nosh ?
Hog Nosh is the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly commonly referred to as BSF ,and sometimes branded as ‘Calci Worms’
Hog Nosh is oven roasted, and contains no chemicals or preservatives, cheaper brands are imported from the Far East and are sterilised in an industrial microwave
Due to the more natural process of drying in the oven Hog Nosh is jam packed with all the proteins, fat, minerals and amino acids hedgehogs love
Hog Nosh is 100% natural with no chemicals used at any stage of the process, larvae (grubs) are part of hedgehogs natural diet ,you are providing an alternative source not an unnatural substitute
What makes Hog Nosh so special ?
Hedgehogs are chiefly insectivores, often travelling a mile or more by night in search of food, by feeding them with Hog Nosh you are supplementing their natural diet.
Do not confuse Hog Nosh with mealworm -we do not use mealworm -we only use BSF larvae of the Black Soldier Fly ( commonly referred to as BSF, and sometimes branded as ‘Calci Worms )
Dried mealworms as a food source for Hedgehogs has proven to be problematic due to an imbalanced calcium/phosphorus ratio.
By contrast, Hog Nosh has a well-balanced calcium-phosphorus ratio, essential for hedgehog health.
Here at Wormganix we take pride at ensuring we know exactly what the hedgehogs will be feeding on, so Hog Nosh has been laboratory tested, here’s the breakdown
