Wombaroo Insectivore Rearing Mix is a complete food designed for rearing and supplementing insectivorous and carnivorous birds. Developed to provide the high levels of protein these species require, it can be used as a hand-rearing diet, nutritional supplement, or live-food replacement for a wide variety of birds.

 

Formulated with 52% protein and a full complement of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, this diet helps support healthy growth, feather development, and overall condition. It is commonly used for species such as magpies, kookaburras, ravens, frogmouths, birds of prey, seabirds, wrens, robins, and other insect-eating birds.

 

Wombaroo Insectivore Rearing Mix is designed to replicate the nutritional profile of insects and whole prey while providing balanced calcium levels and avoiding cereal fillers. It can be mixed with meat, fish, eggs, water, or live foods depending on the species and stage of care.
