12.55kg Dried Mealworms

About Our 12.55kg Dried Mealworms

Many insect-eating birds are attracted to Dried Mealworms and will soon become regular feathered guests at your garden feeders, particularly Robins and Blackbirds. Our Dried Mealworms have an extended shelf-life in comparison to live Mealworms, allowing for longer use and more treats for the birds.

Do you do smaller bags?

We pride ourselves in our bargain prices and as such we don't currently offer any smaller bag sizes. By only offering larger bag sizes, we can keep our costs down and provide you with the cheaper prices you see on our site today. If 12.55kg is a little too heavy for you, we recommend taking some of the mealworms out of the bag when it arrives at your house (e.g. split the bag between two).

When to feed

Our Dried Mealworms can be fed to wild birds throughout the seasons as they are extremely nutritious. It's best for them to be offered in smaller quantities as they are also very high in calories, making them ideal for Autumn and Winter feeding when birds require extra energy to survive the frosty nights.

How to feed

Our 12.55kg Dried Mealworms can be easily fed from a bird table or mealworm feeder. As Dried Mealworms can be fed to birds on their own or added to a seed mix, they can also be fed from a seed feeder when added to a mix. Give your garden birds an extra special treat by soaking the Dried Mealworms in water overnight to rehydrate, they won't be able to resist the juicy goodness. To keep our local wildlife safe, we do not recommend feeding Dried Mealworms from a ground feeder as over-consumption can be life-threatening for Hedgehogs.

How to store

All of our bird foods should be stored in an airtight container to preserve them for as long as possible. If you do not have an airtight container, a cool dry place will suffice, but we do recommend a container to help keep them in their best quality for as long as possible.

Are Dried Mealworms safe for Hedgehogs?

The short answer is yes, Dried Mealworms won't pose any harm to our spikey friends as long as they are eaten in moderation. There can be potentially fatal risks to a Hedgehog's health if they consume over four Mealworms per week as it is too much for their diet.
