Great food for the birds
19/07/2024Moira Kitchen
These have been very popular with our blackbirds, robins and young starlings. I'd recommend putting them in a bowl on a bird table to stop them blowing away. We use a terracotta plant saucer.

This is the most popular bird food on offer in my garden. At this time of year I soak the meal worms in water for a short while before putting them in the feeder.

The birds love them, wet or dry. They are gone in moments!

Gone in a flash ! Every bird likes these. One observation, they are so expensive. They had better reduce in price when we humans start to eat them
27/05/2024Derek Dobbs
Well packed, high quality product. Very fresh and a good size.

I'd prefer to give the birds live mealworms - but they are expensive. These still go down well and I mix them up with seeds and suet pellets. Sometimes I also soak them in water first.
21/05/2024Geock Brown
Judging by how quickly they disappear they are really good!
21/05/2024Sarah Brady
Great edition to feeding during breeding season. I didn’t want to store live meal worms so followed the advice of soaking them for 30 minutes in warm water and they went very quickly
16/05/2024Leslie Meggs

The birds love these mealworms, particularly the Starlings but other birds do get a look-in at times!
02/05/2024Linda Richman
Easy ordering and excellent delivery service
02/05/2024Ms Carola brown
I use these mainly in the spring, or when the weather is extremely cold. The birds love them, but I have to try and hide them from the crows and magpies.
29/04/2024Penny Fowler
I bought these for the two robin families nesting in our garden but the blackbirds think they are for them! Very popular when mixed with the seed in the feeder.
22/04/2024Naomi Davis

These are enjoyed by a very wide range of birds from robins, sparrows, great tits,blue tits, siskins, gold finches to name but a few as well as much larger birds including magpies, wood pigeons, rock pigeons, collared doves and while fan-tailed doves.

They are mealworms and they are dried. Perfect! Prompt delivery.
14/03/2024Robin Gibson
Received quickly, well packed and of good quality
12/03/2024Alison Swift
Lovely fresh, good quality mealworms, a firm favourite with the birds that visit my garden. Excellent service, arrived promptly. Recyclable plastic packaging would be good, but at least not in more packaging than necessary and not in a large hard plastic tub.
11/03/2024T C goddard
Excellent service and delivery from Vine House Farm as usual. I understand some profits go to Wildlife Charity which is why I buy from them. The 1kg mealworms were a bit more expensive than some other places I can buy locally. Enjoyed by my Blackbirds and Robins!
02/03/2024David Vaughan
Dried mealworms good value compared to local price and very popular with starlings. Perhaps too much so. I wish they would give other birds a look in !
22/02/2024Ronald Hill
First class product which my chickens really enjoy

Loved by Robin and blackbirds, easy to soak and put out a small amount regularly

I don't rate these, the birds in the garden do - eaten voraciously.

Dried mealworms are the non-live equivalent of live mealworms. Mealworms are the larvae form of the darkling beetle, which many commonly refer to as the mealworm beetle. Insects and other invertebrates are an important food source for many species of wild bird.
Some people are put off live worms because of their wriggle; in this case, dried alternatives are a good option. Dried mealworms offer a similar amount of fat and protein as live mealworms, but without the wriggle. If you are choosing to feed dried mealworms to birds, it is important that you soak them in water before you put them out in your garden. This will provide birds with much-needed moisture, which is naturally present in live mealworms.
Insects are an excellent addition to your bird food selection. Live food is often left out of gardens, which means people can miss out on seeing several ground-feeding species of garden birds.
When choosing your wild bird food, it is important to have a diverse range of food sources available in your garden or feeding area. This will attract more species of wild bird into your garden. For best results, we recommend including dried mealworms in your garden alongside other types of bird food. These could include straight seeds like sunflower seeds or sunflower hearts, seed mixes, suet pellets and suet fat balls, and peanuts.
