How to feed dried mealworms

• First, give 2–3 mealworms as a snack, or mix them with other foods for variety.
• For wild birds, add a small handful to a feeder or bird table, and refill when it is empty.
• In spring and summer, you can soak the mealworms in water for about 20 minutes. This softens them and adds moisture for birds feeding their young.
• Mealworms are low in calcium, so always offer them alongside a complete daily food rather than as the only food.
• Finally, keep fresh, clean water available at all times.

Storage

Close the pack after each use. Then keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Frequently asked questions

What are dried mealworms?
They are the dried larvae of the mealworm beetle. Drying keeps them crunchy and easy to store, so you can feed them without handling live insects.

When should I feed mealworms to garden birds?
You can feed them all year round. However, they help most in winter, when natural food is scarce, and in spring, when parent birds feed their chicks.

Can mealworms be the only food?
No. Mealworms are a treat and supplement. They are low in calcium, so feed them with a complete diet.

How do I attract more birds with mealworms?
Try mixing them with suet pellets, fat balls or seed. For example, our Premium Seed Mix for Small Birds pairs well with a few mealworms on top.
