Dried Mealworms
Our Dried Mealworms are a great source of protein and have been a real hit since we first introduced them. Dried mealworms have a similar level of fat and protein as the live equivalent.
What birds enjoy eating Dried Mealworms?
Dried mealworms will be eaten by most soft bill species and in particular Robins, Starlings and Blackbirds. House Sparrows will also eat them.
How do I feed Dried Mealworms to birds?
Dried Mealworms can be fed on their own, in a mealworm feeder or can be added to seed mixes. It’s very important that Dried Mealworms are soaked in water prior to feeding in the breeding season, as it is also the moisture that the young nestlings require.
How should I store dried mealworms?
They should be stored in a dry cool place.

The nesting blackbird in my rear garden soon discovered the soaked mealworms I had put down nearby. They were a great success - the first time I have tried this method of feeding.

Excellent all year round food for all garden birds. In the spring easily "revived" by soaking in tepid water for fledglings.

Suitably rehydrated, they proved a lifesaver for our blackbird family during the hot dry spell when the ground was hard. Parents kept up a shuttle service to the nest and made their feelings clear when I didn't keep up with the supply. In due course the young ones arrived to help themselves, in competition with a gang of young starlings.
29/06/2020Ruth Brown
The Blackbirds really appreciated these in view of the drought. Unfortunately the Robins never cottoned on!
29/06/2020Felicity beaumont
Scoffed as soon as I put them out: starlings and blackbirds squabble over them.

Excellent product for robins but blackbirds eat it as well.
29/06/2020Mary West
An excellent substitute for live meal worms. Birds don't seem to be bothered whether they're live or dried - they disappear in a nano second!
29/06/2020Stephen Thompson
Well done.
18/06/2020Carole Morris
Just started my second pack of the dried mealworms, bought a small pouch first and have now bought a 500 g pack as birds are loving it. I put a tray full out every morning and the birds are soon down demolishing it in seconds! It will be a regular purchase for me.

These are offered both dry and soaked. The fledglings like them soaked. The nesting birds take the soaked ones back to the nest to feed their young. I soak the dried worms overnight.
29/05/2020Anonymous
Excellent product. My garden birds love them and I tend to rehydrate them by soaking them in warm water for 5 minutes before giving them to the birds. These are a great product for anyone who doesn’t want to purchase live mealworms.
