Hi Kitty878
So, it looks like calci worms have a slightly larger calcium to phosphorous ratio. The big problem with mealworms, seems to be that there is so much phosphorous, that it leads to a loss of calcium.
So, this explains why specialist hedgehog food (including Spikes) include some calci worms in the mix.
It’s a bit like the Parmesan you sprinkle on pasta. As long as the volume is low, it should be fine. Finding the calcium and phosphorus content seems to be a challenge for the cat biscuits, but I found this about calci worms:

So, I think we are going with hog food with a few calci worms and cat biscuits mixed in. Helga is still going out hunting, so she is not reliant on the food we are putting out. Some of the early footage I managed to get of her, showed a brutal snail assassination (there were only small bits of shell left).
