Dried Mealworms

About Mealworms

Mealworms are the larvae of the Yellow Mealworm Beetle - the adult beetles are shiny dark-brown or black - their larvae are honey-yellow. Dried mealworms retain all this protein and fat but without the wriggle! They are also easier to store than their live counterparts and much more affordable. 

How To Feed Mealworms

​Sprinkle as they are or rehydrate by soaking in warm water for a few minutes. Although our dried mealworms are a year-round bird food, it is recommended during Spring & Summer time to soak them in warm water before feeding as adult birds may be feeding them to their young.

Great value!

How To Store Your Mealworms

Dried mealworms should be stored in a cool dry location. Mealworms that are stored in this way can last months without spoiling. Our 3kg storage containers are ideal to store your mealworms in a secure, dry place.
