Hi, I will probably make people angry here, but I don’t believe mealworm are good for hogs, even calci ones. They are extremely expensive, even without the calcium coating. My opinion is, you can buy very good nutritious hedgehog food and cat biscuits for far less expense. I have also changed one of my bird feeders as too many sunflower hearts were being dropped and the hogs were eating them, which is also bad for them. I’m not too sure why firms have started adding calcium to the mealworm anyway, was it done with birds in mind? I have used the company you mentioned and always found them a good firm, so I’m not getting at them at all. I just think if it’s an “unknown” I would rather not use them at all myself. Best wishes
