{"product_id":"goldworms-dried-black-soldier-fly-larvae","title":"GOLDWORMS Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae Bird Treats, 5.5 lb, high calcium, poultry feed","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalcium, fats, protein, phosphorus and fibre are all present in the larvae, and the manufacturer adds no additives or preservatives. A bag this size suits keepers feeding birds, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, turtles, hamsters, lizards and other reptiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the larvae bring to a feed routine\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLive larvae go into the drying process and come out sealed in the bag, so what you pour out is a dried grub rather than a loose seed blend. Keepers who already feed dried mealworms will note the manufacturer's comparison: these larvae hold more calcium than dried mealworms do. The same larvae carry calcium, fats, protein, phosphorus and fibre, with no additives or preservatives added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFood waste and agricultural waste are what the larvae grow on, and the manufacturer calls the protein source sustainable and eco-friendly. A 5.5 lb bag is a size to decant from over many feedings rather than a single serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5 Pound (Pack of 1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBSF Larvae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem form\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGranule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnit count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88 ounce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTarget audience\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ereptile-and-amphibian-pets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSustainable and eco-friendly protein source, high in calcium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial ingredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDried Black Soldier Fly Larvae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the larvae are fed and stored\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stated direction is to scatter the larvae on the ground so the animals forage for them.

A keeper with a bird flock of any of those poultry types, or with a turtle or lizard, is covered by that list. A household with none of these animals is not the audience for the 5.5 lb bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things are worth checking before buying: that you have a cool, dry spot for the bag, and that the bag can be closed again after each scattering.
