Grubs | High Protein Nature's Grubs 350g | Mother Nature's

Nature's Grubs Dried Insect Larvae is a premium, single-ingredient high-protein poultry treat produced in Canada by Chin Ridge Seeds. Each 2 kg bag contains dried black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) — one of the most nutritionally complete insect protein sources available for backyard poultry. All natural, no preservatives, no additives, and produced using recycled food products in an earth-friendly closed-loop process.

Why Dried Insect Larvae

Insects are a natural and essential component of a chicken's diet in the wild. Foraging for insects provides protein, fat, and key micronutrients that grain-based feeds alone cannot fully replicate. Nature's Grubs delivers this nutritional profile in a convenient, shelf-stable dried form — no refrigeration required, no mess, and no live insect handling. Black soldier fly larvae are particularly valued for their high calcium content (significantly higher than mealworms), which directly supports eggshell strength and laying hen health.

Nutritional Highlights

• High protein — supports muscle development, feather regrowth during moult, and overall flock health
• High calcium — supports strong eggshell formation in laying hens
• Natural fats — provide sustained energy, especially valuable during cold weather and winter feeding
• No preservatives, stabilizers, or artificial additives — clean label, single ingredient
• Made in Canada — earth-friendly production using recycled food products

Best Suited For These Birds

Nature's Grubs is formulated as a treat and supplement for backyard and small-farm poultry, including:

• Laying hens (all breeds) — the primary target; high calcium and protein directly support egg production and eggshell quality
• Meat birds and broilers — high protein supports rapid muscle development and weight gain
• Roosters — protein and fat support energy and condition
• Ducks and geese — readily consume dried larvae; supports feather condition and energy during cold months
• Turkeys — benefit from the high protein content, especially during growth and moult
• Guinea fowl — natural insect foragers that readily accept dried larvae as a supplement
• Quail — high-protein treat suitable for coturnix and bobwhite quail

Also suitable as a high-value training reward for any backyard poultry species — birds respond quickly to the scent and taste of dried larvae.

Ideal For

• Backyard chicken keepers looking to boost protein and calcium without synthetic supplements
• Laying hens during peak production, moult recovery, and winter feeding
• Flocks on pasture or in runs where natural insect foraging is limited
• Training and hand-taming backyard poultry — high palatability makes larvae an effective reward
• Small farms and homesteads with mixed poultry flocks
• Keepers transitioning away from mealworms seeking a higher-calcium alternative

Feeding Guidance

Offer Nature's Grubs as a treat or supplement — not as a complete feed replacement. A general guideline is to limit treats to no more than 10% of the flock's daily diet to maintain nutritional balance with their primary feed. Scatter directly on the ground to encourage natural foraging behaviour, mix into existing feed, or offer by hand as a training reward. Store in a cool, dry location with the bag sealed between uses. No refrigeration required.
