    This particular food I haven’t previously tried but suffice is to say the birds love it. All the food from Vine House Farm is excellent and the service is fast.

    The mini mealy worms are ideal for feed for baby nestlings . I felt assured leaving these for adult birds to feed chicks without any danger to the young.

    These were top quality mealworms (not that I’m an expert you understand!) all I can say is that the birds love them, particularly our robins who can’t get enough this time of year. Also the blackbirds, dunnocks and of course the starlings.

    The birds go nuts for them. They're put out and then they're gone. I have to set myself up with time to watch the action or they're finished by the time I look again. But it's wonderful to see them getting the best of what they need, especially with babes to feed. The only drawback is more plastic tubs to recycle. Any hope of little carboard boxes? I double-container them for the fridge anyway and I expect most people do.

    Have brought these before and the food to feed them up. They are very lively and our local robins often get to eat them before the majority get a chance to grow! However the same thing happens when our local blackbirds come seeking mealworms as a treat. So on behalf of the wild birds they score these mealworms highly.

    It took our birds, mainly blackbirds and a pair of pied wagtails, a few days to accept the live mini mealworms. Now, as expected, they are all eaten by lunchtime. It would have been useful to have information about how to store the live mealworms, either on your website or a slip of paper with the delivery.

    Wrong items delivered at first (and delayed in post so mostly dead on arrival) but mistake rectified speedily and second batch arrived next morning all in perfect condition. Enormous amount of interest by robins and blackbirds who took as many as were offered. Dunnocks also quite keen on them. The normal hungry hoard of woodpigeons not interested at all, of course, which was an added bonus

    Mealworms fresh and lively. Small enough for adult birds to feed to fledglings. Delivery very prompt as always with this firm. The farmer practises what he preaches, firstly on his own farm and secondly by giving a proportion of the profits to wildlife charities.

    The blackbirds and robin in my garden loved them. I think I chose to feed them at the optimum time because the second lot hung around a little bit and I did have to feed the mealworms with the bran to keep them healthy. Sparrows also thought they were great.

    The birds loved them. Being in town it seemed to be the blackbirds and the sparrows in competition with each other for them. It was fun watching the blackbirds cramming as many worms into their beaks as they could. I put them out during nesting so I hope they helped a few baby birds to survive. They are expensive so I put a one pot out every morning but couldn't afford any more, so back on to the dried worms.

    Rapid delivery. We’re keeping the mealworms in the fridge. When we put some on the bird table we sit nearby and enjoy watching the birds take them away by the beakful.

    Very much appreciated at this time of year by our garden birds......they would go through the full 500g in a day given chance. They have had 3 deliveries now......and I think that they will have to wait until next year for the next. The fledglings are out and about. I empty the delivery into a shallow 15”diameter plastic container on arrival and throw in a handful of wheatgerm which keeps the worms alive and active! Your delivery system is excellent....delivered within 24hrs of ordering....thanks to the Post Office too! Egg boxes easy to cope with....newspaper not so!

    Have had problems on several occasions when ordering mealworms. Last year one order never came. Twice this year I got normal size meal worms instead of the mini ones which I had ordered. I understand they are despatched from vine house farms supplier. I did receive them after I called to point out the error. That aside the worms always arrive in good time and in good condition. On the whole the feed from vine house farm is of excellent quality and so is the service.

    A great product which the birds love. I get the mini ones for the birds to feed to their young in the nest. They are so popular that I put them in a feeder which only gives access to the smaller birds (sparrows, great tits and blue tits), but even so, I find it impossible to keep up with demand!

Mini mealworms are young mealworms that have not yet fully grown. They are a nutritious bird food, providing moisture and protein for birds. Ground-feeding and insectivorous garden birds are attracted to the wriggle of worms. These include live mealworms and waxworms, as well as mini mealworms. In the wild, birds pick up worms from the ground, and caterpillars from bushes and trees. During nesting and fledgling seasons, birds feed these to their young. Mini mealworms can be beneficial because they are easier for small birds to consume.
