Product Details

Live mealworms are an incredibly nutritious meal for insect-eating garden birds. Bred right here in the UK, these juicy worms are a great source of protein, fibre and fat for wild birds. Pop them in one of our mealworm feeders and watch the local birds flock to your garden!

Note that we also offer dried mealworms – these make a great addition to bird seed mixes, and if you're squeamish, you might prefer to deal with worms that aren't alive and wriggling about. However, live mealworms are preferable because they contain more moisture and they're easier to digest.

We particularly recommend putting out live mealworms for birds during the breeding season (i.e. spring and summer). Small birds use up a phenomenal amount of energy at this time of year, so easily-digestible food is a must, plus their fledglings need all the food and moisture they can get.

 

Ordering Live Mealworms for Birds

Our live mealworms are sold in the following weights:

  • 3 x 55g tubs (total weight 165g)
  • 6 x 55g tubs (total weight 330g)
  • 250g bag
  • 500g bag
  • 1kg bag
  • 2kg bag

Your tubs or bags will arrive in a cardboard box packed with newspaper or cardboard egg trays to stop the mealworms from overheating. The tubs and bags are made of breathable materials, so your mealworms will be fine until you're ready to put them on the bird table.

All live mealworms are sent in bran, which is their main food source. You can also give them small amounts of carrot (diced or chopped) and they also like green leafy vegetables.

We can also provide live mealworms for bats! Bats like to eat mealworms just as much as birds do, so we also supply 1kg 'bat packs' of live mealworms. These bags contain unprinted newspaper or egg trays since ink is toxic to bats. Please contact us if you would like to order a bat pack.

DELIVERY NOTICE: Live mealworms are sent by Royal Mail Tracked, which aims for a next day delivery. Orders submitted Monday – Thursday will be dispatched on the same day if placed before 11am, or the following day if placed after 11am. Orders submitted Friday – Sunday will be dispatched on the following Monday. If your order includes any other products, these will arrive separately. Please note that live mealworms are NOT available for collection at the farm.
