These live mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are our best selling live food, and the number one choice for feeding wild birds. They are the larvae of the Flour Beetle, a native British insect which eats flour, meal, grain and other related crops. Their bodies are made up of over 48% crude protein and 40% fat making them an excellent, proven food for all insect eating garden birds.

Live worms are ideal for encouraging natural feeding behaviour of all kinds of wild birds but especially enticing for ground feeding birds like Robins, Blackbirds, Chaffinches, Wagtails,  Thrushes and the Wrens in our garden love them.

You can purchase your live mealworms as 3 x 55g tubs of mealworms (165g in total weight ) or 6 x 55g tubs (which supplies 330g of mealworms in total). As an alternative, mealworms can also be supplied in breathable sacks  of 250g, 500g or 1kg weights and sent out with newspaper or cardboard egg trays to stop the mealworms from overheating (within a box for protection).  All live mealworms are sent in bran which is their food source. You can also give them small amounts of carrot (diced or chopped) and they also like green leafy vegetables. 

We also supply a 1kg Live Mealworm Bat Packs. These 1kg bags of live mealworms contain unprinted newspaper or egg trays - as ink is toxic to bats.

How to store live mealworms

Mealworms can easily be stored in a garage or utility room because they are clean and odourless. They keep well at room temperature, but during summer months we would suggest that you finda cool place for them, out of direct sunlight.  Should you wish to store them for longer you can transfer them to the warmest part of your fridge, away from the icebox!
