Excellent quality, birds loved them. Arrived quickly. Lasted ages.
06/07/2024Mrs jane Etheridge
Really good quality mealworm. Keep in the fridge. Only criticism is that they goo too fast - my Robins love them...
24/06/2024Janet Airey
Absolutely loved by my small birds (and larger ones, if they can get at them!), fledgling robins and tits are being raised on them, a great additional food for the birds.
20/06/2024Mike Sharp
The Mealworms arrived in a timely manner and well packaged. The plastic boxes work well to apportion the mealworms to meals, though with so many mouths to feed I am not sure how many I should be dishing out per day. I just make a box last 4 days and put them in the feeded each morning

I’ve never seen bird food disappear so quickly
17/06/2024Christopher Spring
The mealworm arrived very quickly and were in good condition as usual. The chickens and the wild birds love them.
13/06/2024Anonymous
I found them very lively but only the magpies were attracted to them instead of the robins etc for which they were intended
08/06/2024Christine nightingale
Over the last few weeks I have purchased 500g and 1 kg packs of mealworms. They are nearly all gone! The birds are loving them ( robins, blackbirds, blue tits, great tits, and sparrows) and are starting to fledge. The robins are so cheeky, they take them from my large box while I am replenishing the cage feeder!
31/05/2024Jan Mellowship
Excellent quality and fast delivery, the birds (especially the starlings) love them, it's amazing to see how many one starling can get in its beak!

'They're yummy for my tummy.' said Robin

Good quality and good condition.

Best live mealworms ever, recommended
26/04/2024Caroline Solomon
These mealworms arrived very promptly and in great condition. The blackbirds go mad for them and cram their beaks full to take to their young. Robins love them too.
25/04/2024David Camp
Delivered within 2 days of placing the order, arriving well packed via Royal Mail. A definite favourite with all the birds visiting my feeders. I think it is very important to help out with live food made available during the nesting season. Normal Vine House Farm efficiency and ease of ordering.
23/04/2024Madeleine woodyer
This was my 2nd delivery of the season, speed of delivery excellent this time (both Royal Mail). Unfortunately the packing wasn't great. The outer cardboard box wasn't damaged but the internal packing of the worms was sellotaped up though not enough to stop the worms escaping and some of them ended up on the kitchen table. Not ideal for me as they give me the creeps! The birds love them so I will continue to buy them.

I don't know anything about Mealworms but I haven't had any complaints from the birds visiting our garden.
18/04/2024Chris Doubell
As usual the worms came properly packaged and ready for feeding my rescue bats.

Great. I kept them alive for several weeks with oats and apple shavings. Very satisfying.

The birds went mad for them - best bird food ever! One female blackbird even started coming into the house looking for them and now her noisy, overgrown offspring are visiting to help themselves. Another advantage is that the wood pigeons don't seem to like them so robins, sparrows and blackbirds can enjoy them in peace. The only downside is that I find the little creatures quite endearing (they love their food!) and they're beginning to feel like pets. My neighbour says I should get out more.
20/06/2023Ms Rosemary atkins
This is THE go-to food at nesting time. The perfect food for nestlings.
14/06/2023Mr steve Turner

05/06/2023Barry Cuthbertson
its the first time that i have purcased the meal worms, the blackbirds and robin ate them all over a few days,so must be good.
02/06/2023Karen Bunn
Fantastic, they loved them, I just can't afford to feed them this which is a shame, special treats only.
09/05/2023Elizabeth Sasse
Birds love them and quickly learnt how to get in the cage. Thank you.
22/04/2023Alan Bamforth
Excellent product, going down a treat with the birds. Good to have the Robin back regularly in the garden
17/04/2023Mr david Felkins
They arrived well packaged and wriggling. I've been putting them out during March between showers. This is so the tits and robin learn early and we'll hopefully have frequent visits from them throughout the year.
02/04/2023Mrs marjorie Beebee
I always have these in stock: all the birds enjoy them, and we need birds!
27/03/2023Michael Fenn
The birds were very happy.

I'm always buying live mealworms from vinehouse farm, they are always fresh and quality, that probably sounds a bit daft but in the past I have received some smelly and all the skins coming of and turning,,this was before I knew about vinehouse farm, I love feeding the bird's live worm's ,no matter which bird's they always let me know they are waiting they do cheer me up, so funny, from robins, starlings dunnock,sparrow's jackdaws blackbirds, Maggies,. Good packaging quick delivery, good price,

They always come quickly and arrive fresh, plump and very wriggly. I use bran in shallow aerated tubs and sieve them every few day to keep them fresh. They keep for a fortnight or so in the garage. They’ve been a lifesaver for my Robins and Blackbirds this summer.

Live mealworms are an absolute must for the birds: feeding parents and fledgelings alike absolutely devour them. They provide a mass of nutrients to the birds, as well as help to keep them hydrated - essential this year! Thoroughly recommend purchasing, during the spring/summer period at the very least. I will never tire of the birds coming to ask for them, or watching them feed: such a treat.
05/09/2022Mr stephen Murphy
The robins,wrens,blue tits and blackbirds are loving these treats. I'm constantly followed around the garden and both robins now feed from my outstretched hand!

Live mealworms are the small larvae of the mealworm beetle (tenebrio molitor), usually measuring between 2cm and 3cm. They are at the second stage of this beetle's life cycle, having passed the egg and pupa stages already.
They provide nutrients and hydration for birds and are ideal for feeding in gardens; they are made up of 40% protein and 40% fat, and have a high percentage of moisture which is vital for nestlings.
The rewards of feeding live mealworms far outweigh any misgivings you may have about their wiggle. The benefits of feeding live mealworms to birds - in particular during the nesting and fledging season - can help them survive.
