Wild Animal Insect Puree

Wildlife Insect Puree – Natural Insect Food for Hedgehogs and Other Wild Animals

What do hedgehogs and other insectivores actually eat in the wild? Mainly beetles, larvae, and many other small animals. This is exactly where our Wild Animal Insect Puree comes in. It contains only insects and no unnecessary additives.

Three different types of insects form the basis of this high-quality food. Together, they provide animal protein, fat, and essential nutrients. Plus, the soft texture makes it easy for you to portion out the food.

The Wildtier Insect Puree is particularly suitable as a supplemental food for hedgehogs. Other insectivores can also benefit from it. However, it is important that you adjust the feeding to the specific animal species.

Three Insect Species for a Balanced Diet

Not every insect contains the same nutrients. That’s why Wildtier Insect Puree combines three different species.

Ingredients:

• 76% mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)
• 14% black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)
• 10% Zophobas (Zophobas morio)

Mealworms provide a lot of animal protein and fat. That is why they make up the largest portion of the mixture.

Black soldier fly larvae supplement the feed with additional nutrients. They also contain an interesting mix of minerals.

Zophobas round out the recipe. They also provide protein and fat.

The result is a versatile insect mix that’s well-suited as a supplement.

100% insects—no unnecessary additives

Many pet foods contain grains, sugar, or other fillers. The Wildtier Insect Puree, on the other hand, takes a different approach.

It is made up of 100% insects.

You won’t find any grains, added sugar, or artificial flavors in it. Instead, your pet gets a blend of three types of insects.

Plus, you don’t have to store live feed insects. The puree is already prepared and ready to use.

This saves time and makes daily feeding easier.

Why is insect puree good for hedgehogs?

Hedgehogs mainly forage for food on the ground. They eat beetles, larvae, caterpillars, and other small animals.

That is why they need food that contains enough animal protein.

The Wildtier Insect Puree provides exactly those nutrients. Plus, you can easily mix it with suitable wet food.

This can be particularly helpful when caring for hedgehogs. That’s because weakened or underweight animals often require a specialized diet.

However, not every hedgehog needs extra food. Healthy hedgehogs can usually find enough food on their own.

If you find an injured or weakened hedgehog, you should contact a hedgehog rescue center or a veterinarian.

Also of interest to other insectivores

It’s not just hedgehogs that eat insects. Many wild birds, reptiles, and amphibians also rely on them as a food source.

That is why the insect puree for wild animals may also be of interest to other animal species.

However, each species has its own specific needs. While some animals require large numbers of insects, others need a completely different mix.

Therefore, always make sure you eat a balanced diet.

The puree is intended as a supplement and does not automatically replace a complete feed ration.

Valuable Protein for the Body

Protein is one of the body’s most important building blocks. Animals need it for muscles, tissues, and many other functions.

Insects provide animal protein and also contain various amino acids.

The Wildtier Insect Puree has a crude protein content of 10%.

This value refers to moist feed. That is why it is lower than for dried insects.

An adequate protein intake plays an important role, especially when caring for wild animals.

Fat provides important energy

In addition to protein, insects also contain fat. This provides energy and supports many bodily functions.

The Wildtier Insect Puree contains 7.4% crude fat.

This makes it a useful supplement to an existing diet.

However, not every animal requires the same amount of energy. Therefore, you should always adjust the portions to meet your pet’s needs.

Expert advice is particularly recommended for weakened animals.

The Right Balance of Calcium and Phosphorus

Calcium and phosphorus are important minerals. Among other things, both contribute to bone formation and maintenance.

It’s not just the amount that matters; the ratio also plays a role.

According to the manufacturer, Wildtier Insect Puree contains:

• Calcium: 0.15%
• Phosphorus: 0.15%

This results in a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1:1.

As a result, the feed provides a balanced blend of these two minerals.

Still, you should consider your pet’s overall diet. After all, other foods also provide calcium and phosphorus.

Easy to feed thanks to its soft consistency

Whole feed insects aren’t ideal for every situation. That’s why the Wildtier Insect Puree offers a practical alternative.

Its soft texture makes feeding easier. It also makes it easy to portion out small amounts.

Simply put the puree in a suitable food bowl. Alternatively, you can mix it into some appropriate wet food.

Since the product already contains 80% moisture, you don’t need to soak it first.

This saves time and makes care easier.

Handy for hedgehog rescue centers and wildlife care

Anyone who regularly cares for wild animals needs a reliable food source.

However, live insects require space and care. Furthermore, they are not always available in sufficient quantities.

This is where Wildtier’s insect puree offers a clear advantage.

After all, you can simply store the unopened cans and use them as needed.

According to the manufacturer, the product has a shelf life of up to two years when unopened. Always check the best-by date on the can.

That way, you’ll always have insect food on hand, even if you need some on short notice.

Also suitable for special feeding methods

According to the manufacturer, the Wildtier Insect Puree is also suitable for administration via a syringe or feeding tube.

This option can be particularly helpful in professional wildlife care.

However, this type of feeding requires a great deal of experience. For this reason, only trained individuals are allowed to use a feeding tube.

For regular feeding, however, a suitable food bowl is sufficient.

How much Wildtier insect puree should I feed?

The appropriate amount depends on the species and its needs.

The manufacturer recommends starting by replacing about 10–20% of the current wet food portion with the puree.

After that, you can slowly increase the amount for suitable animals.

As a general guideline, the manufacturer recommends 30–50% of the wet food ration.

However, this recommendation does not automatically apply to every species.

That’s why you should always adjust the amount to suit the individual animal. For sick or weakened wild animals, a specialized hedgehog rescue center or a veterinarian can help you.
