Buffalo worms are the larvae of Alphitobius diaperinus and are very nutritious due to their high protein percentage and low fat percentage. Besides, these worms are rather tasty, and especially small birds are mad about them. Buffalo worms are also softer than e.g. mealworms, and are therefore more digestible.
Nutritional advice
Topinsect insects should always be defrosted before being offered to animals. An insect which is still frozen could cause stomach or intestinal cramps. Never offer an animal more defrosted insects than it can eat. If too many insects are offered, they’ll not be eaten and their quality will decrease rapidly.
