Live Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are our best selling live food, and the number one choice for feeding wild birds. 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.

Robins, as you can see from the photo here, just love them. They are the perfect food for young chicks and adults alike.

Please note: mealworms (Live or Dried) must not be fed to hens (after the BSE epidemic and Foot and Mouth outbreak all insect proteins were stopped as feed for farm animals by DEFRA). 

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. Should you wish to store them for longer you can transfer them to the warmest part of your fridge, away from the icebox.

LIVE mealworms helps chick survival rates because they are the best source of protein, fat and crucially water. (Mothers cannot supply water to their young - other than by live insects)

Attracts birds close up

Robins will often eat out of your hand if you have live mealworms available.
