Who You’ll Attract
Tits (Great, Blue, Coal, Long-Tailed), Siskins, Greenfinches, Robins, Wrens, Blackbirds, Thrushes and other insect-feeding garden birds. Even woodpeckers or tree-creepers may take interest.
How to Feed Them

• Hang in a fatball feeder, or place on a low tray for ground-feeding species (crumbled).
• Best offered morning and late afternoon, or when insect levels are low (early spring, late summer).
• Best Served In
  ✅ Fatball feeder cage
  ✅ Bird table or low ground tray
  🚫 Not suited for deep seed tubes

Wiggly Tip:
On rainy or cool days when insects are scarce, place a couple of Insect Fatballs near the hedge base — the ground-feeding birds will swoop in fast.

Made in Britain, these fatballs support local production, responsible sourcing and shorter supply chains. Our recipe includes mealworm and insect meal, allowing us to push nutrition higher while maintaining British manufacturing quality.
Sustainability & Packaging

• UK-made = fewer food miles for the suet and insects.
• Crisp texture that avoids waste under feeders.
  Wiggly Tip:
  Keep a handful of these fatballs in your garden storehouse — when insect hatches are low or feeders look bare, they’ll give your birds what they need.

High-protein diets are critical during breeding, moulting and when insect availability dips. Insects and mealworms supply essential amino acids, fats and oils that seed alone often misses. Suet provides concentrated energy to fuel birds’ day-to-day survival.
By combining suet with insect/mealworm meal and oil-rich seeds, you’re giving your birds a high-performance feed that supports condition, feather health and resilience.

Wiggly Tip:
Feed these in spring when parents are feeding chicks — the extra insect content will help reduce fledgling mortality and keep parents in good condition.

Storage & Freshness

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep bags sealed or transfer to airtight tubs once opened.
• Use within 6–12 months for optimal nutrition.
  

Wiggly Tip:
If birds seem slow to visit in summer, switch to these Insect Fatballs for a week — the extra protein may pique their interest and get your feeders busy again.

Goes Well With

• Huskless Seed Mix – for balanced routine feeding.
• Live Mealworms – for movement + live insect appeal.
• British Maize Fatballs – for crumbly texture in cold conditions.
  

Quick FAQs
Are these good all year round?
Yes — especially valuable when insects are scarce (late winter, early spring, late summer).
Will they soften in heat?
They’re made to hold well, but avoid direct sun to preserve texture.
Are they British-made?
Yes — manufactured in the UK with a focus on local sourcing and quality.
Can I crumble them for small birds?
Definitely — crumbling makes them easier for wrens, dunnocks and ground feeders.
