Mealworms are the larval form of the mealworm beetle, which means they are a fantastic food source for any birds or animals who would naturally have an insectivorous diet. As well as wild birds, they can be fed to most reptiles and fish, and can be used in fishing baits. Our fresh mealworms are vacuum-sealed from fresh and kept in liquid to maintain their freshness. This makes them a more nutritious option than dried mealworms, but far more convenient than live.

Many wild birds rely on the natural protein of insects to supplement their diet, keeping them healthy and helping them to maintain and repair muscle mass. Because mealworms give just the right type of protein birds need, they are a fantastically versatile feed for a huge range of wild bird species, including blackbirds, robins, bullfinches, greenfinches, starlings, dunnocks, tree sparrows, house sparrows, song thrushes, wrens and yellowhammers.

Mealworms can be fed to wild birds all year round as either as a ground or table feed. They are particularly great for wild birds in winter, as the cold weather will likely have killed off most insect life. We would not recommend using our fresh mealworms in a mealworm feeder, as these have been predominantly designed for dried mealworms - if this is what you are looking for, see our dried mealworm range available in our eBay store.
