Birds just can't get enough live mealworms. They adore them. I give them as a treat because they are more expensive than other bird foods.

I think the packaging worked well. Arrived in good condition through the post and easy to open and close when serving a very grateful bird population. The word obviously got about because a Jay turned up only during the period of live mealworm feeding!

The blackbirds loved them. However, I found the plastic packaging rather off putting. Could we have something a little more environmentally friendly, please.

Good condition and good value for money.
25/05/2022Mr stephen Busby
Have to ration them, otherwise magpies & starlings would feast on ALL of them.
Thankfully, got a caged feeder from VHF which keeps some back for smaller birds!

Arrived safely through the Royal Mail. Sparrows already enjoying them!

I have to confess, at first, I felt a little squeamish about giving the birds live food, but when I put some of the mealworms on a suspended tray, the house sparrows flew in immediately, clearly eager to give their young a more nourishing foodstuff. There is a paucity of insects, so I felt justified in providing a protein-rich food of this kind!

Well packaged with plenty of cardboard for the mealworms.

All delivered promptly and well packaged. Birds really appreciated them!

They are very popular with the robins & blackbirds and keep well in the fridge. The (new?) packaging also means they can be put through the letterbox (although try not to tread on the package as you come in through the door, as I did!)

Bought some live mealworms has I can't keep up with all the bird's thought it would go a bit further aswell as the waxworms I keep getting, gosh the bird's go crazy, it's funny to watch the starlings with there young now there brilliant at catching I can play catch with them, trouble is all the other bird's struggle getting any, I try hiding them split into different feeling places, so the robin let's me know when it's waiting and a certain blackbird does, I seem to be out there hour's trying to make sure all gets a bit of something, I could go on for ever,
The mealworms are fresh and come well secure, quality and good value.

Right mealworms, wrong birds? The mealworms arrived very promptly by Royal Mail delivery. The looked really plump and healthy. Their squirming mass isn't for the squeamish but they became more comatose in a sealed container in the fridge, they became more active when put outside. The only problem was that they were put out in a shallow dish on top of a wall close to bird feeders on a tree but no interest was shown in them despite the regular presence of sparrows and tits and occasional visits from blackbirds. After a day a magpie took some and was the only taker for days until all were gone. Don't understand it but it might be worth buying a small quantity initially to see what the take up will be. No fault with the product as far as I can tell, looked very good.

They arrived promply in secure packaging with no problems, Thankyou.

Very pleased, as always, with the service and quick response from Vine Farm, when purchasing any of their bird feed.

Outstanding service is always from Vale House Farm which I have used for bulk bird food for several years and the birds love it. I order live mealworms this time of year for nesting Robins and Blackbirds who go mad for them to feed their hatch young. However, please do not do what did this year. Order mealworms and took delivery. Put them in a container and leave the lid off. I got distracted by a phone call and forgot them. Only the next day did I remember them and found they had all but four cleared off! Now expecting Mealworm Beatle infestation in the greenhouse :-)

As always a fast reliable service, excellent products and friendly staff

I kep them in the 'fridge. When I put them out they wiggled into life and the birds loved them. Would definaely buy again.

The mealworms arrived swiftly and were in excellent condition. They are loved by both my chickens and the wild birds.
25/12/2021Mr roger Finch
Our meal worms arrived by post all ready for feeding to our robins and blackbirds. I repack them from their travelling bag and feed them with bran. Our birds receive several feeds each day enthusiastically. Thanks Vinehouse!

The small birds didn't get a look in even though I put them in the Robin feeder..I'll have to lower the feeder even more and hope the little ones find them ..The Starlings devoured them.
28/08/2021Mr oisin Clancy
Was in two minds about buying these but was convinced by the recommendation of the proprietor; to summarise they are a great purchase. The worms are easy to care for, the birds love them and having used them for two years, the number of sparrow fledglings has notably increased in my garden. Give them a go!

I bought 6 x 40g tubs which I find conveniently presented and come in bran feed. These will last me about 2 weeks. I store the tubs in the fridge, so they are less active and they keep fine. The small birds really love them and they have been a much needed food source for their chicks this year because the cold April and wet May and June meant few insects when the birds needed them. I have sometimes bought the 250g size which arrive packed between cardboard egg trays, so you need to be sorted into smaller containers and to add food.

Bought a few bags over the summer and the worms are always healthy and plump. Blackbirds and Robins are feasting on these. I sprinkle them on the edges of the lawn first thing in the morning and early evening.

Now they have been packaged differently it's very easy to remain 'hands off' when laying the mealworms down. Absolutely loved by all the birds - wonderful to watch their enjoyment,

Live meal worms were excellent - it was good to receive them in small containers - much easier to handle. Robin quickly found them (and was pleased as far as we could tell - it was disappointed when they had all gone!)

Birds love them ,it’s great seeing mum getting six in her beak and feeding her young.
24/06/2021Mathew Humby
Brilliant delivery and very good quality.. birds love it!!
23/06/2021Sue Peck
Good quality product which the birds love. Delivery took a little longer than expected but I think that was down to staff shortages at Royal Mail more than despatch by Vine House Farm.
I strongly recommend Vine House Farm for bird and wildlife food

Packaging material not the best ; rolled newspaper .

Live meal worms are enjoyed by so many birds it is lovely to watch them

Excellent service and, judging by the speed my garden birds ate them, of the highest quality!

Good healthy worms, well packed and promptly delivered - as always, good value.

The mealworm always arrive in good condition and are appreciated both by the chickens and the wild birds.

I shall have to ask the birds to confirm quality, flavour etc but the remaining meal worms are still alive in the fridge.
07/06/2021David Britton
These arrived quickly and were very wriggly and apparently most delicious. I didn’t try them myself but the robins and blackbirds voted with their beaks. The only problem was keeping the starlings away from them as they could empty a batch in ten minutes. One blackbird managed nine in his beak at one sitting. Most impressive and a reflection of the desirability of these mealworms.

Timely delivery, happy birds!

The birds love them! How the news spreads I will never know but many more birds than is usual flocked to feed on them.
28/05/2021Anonymous
This ordered was processed and delivered to a high standard but most importantly the birds really love them. They stored well in the frig too.
08/05/2021Jan Mellowship
We have starlings nesting underneath the eaves of our bungalow - young starlings have never been fed so well! The parents appreciate the mealworms as well, it's like just popping to the corner shop for them! They were packed well and arrived quickly.

The birds - especially love them - but always leave some for the little ones
