Fat balls and suet cakes are usually the first thing to empty from a feeder over winter, because they hand a bird more calories per beakful than almost anything else on offer.

Suet To Go's High Energy Suet Cake in Mealworm is made with wheat flour, beef suet at 25%, mixed seeds, ground peanuts and mealworms. It comes in a 280G cake sized to fit a standard cake or block feeder, and Suet To Go advise storing it in cool, dry conditions and replacing it if it's been left out in prolonged wet weather.

On feeding. Suet To Go recommend feeding this year round from a suet feeder or bird table away from predators, with fresh water always available, and cleaning the feeder if food has been sitting out in wet weather. It's a complementary feed rather than a full diet.

Who it's for: anyone already feeding mealworms to garden birds and wanting a suet-based version for the feeder rather than loose mealworms alone.
