Dried Mealworms – A Nutritious Treat for Wild Birds & Pets

What Are Dried Mealworms?

Dried mealworms are the nutrient-rich larvae of the mealworm beetle, offering an excellent source of protein, fats, and essential nutrients for birds, reptiles, fish, and even as fishing bait. Carefully freeze-dried and roast-dried, our mealworms retain maximum nutritional value while remaining 100% natural—free from artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Why Choose Dried Mealworms?

Insectivorous birds naturally rely on insects for their protein intake, which helps with muscle maintenance, energy levels, and overall health. Dried mealworms are a versatile and convenient alternative to live insects, making them an ideal year-round food source for a wide variety of bird species, including:

• Robins
• Blackbirds
• Sparrows (Tree & House)
• Bullfinches & Greenfinches
• Starlings & Dunnocks
• Song Thrushes, Wrens & Yellowhammers

Feeding Guide – How & When to Use

• All-Year Feeding: Perfect for every season, but especially valuable in winter, when natural insect populations decline due to cold weather.
• Spring & Nesting Season: For young birds and fledglings, soak mealworms in lukewarm water for 20-30 minutes before feeding to soften them and enhance hydration.
• How to Serve:
  • Scatter on the ground or bird table.
  • Place in a mealworm-specific feeder.
  • Mix with other bird food for added variety.

Benefits of Dried Mealworms Over Live Insects

• High in Protein & Calories – Essential for energy and muscle development.
• Long Shelf Life – Unlike live worms, dried mealworms can be stored for months without spoilage.
• Easy to Handle & Mess-Free – No need to deal with wriggling insects.
• Attracts a Wider Range of Birds – Encourages new species to visit your garden.

For best results, consider placing an additional feeder near perching spots to help birds feel comfortable feeding in a new location.
