Live Mealworms 500g Bulk Bag 20-30mm | Reptile & Bird Live Food

Obviously, I haven't actually tried these myself. However, my wild freathered friends have assured me that they are extremely yummy. Even my chickens launch themselves at me like a pack of enthusiastic labrador puppies to get first dibs. Also, can I say that the packaging is absolutely adorable (I've sent photos to all my friends)! Oh, and they are also dispatched really quickly. I highly recommend.

Great for wild birds especially while they are rearing young. Fast delivery.

Arrived promptly by Royal Mail. All look fat and healthy. Packaged securely, no escapees from the bag (which was a woven, tarp-like material, not dissimilar to bags reptiles are sometimes transported in). The only issue I have with the packaging is that the padding was inside the bag, instead of surrounding it in the box as I would have expected. The padding used was newspaper, too, rather than something like brown packing paper; as mealworms will chew on almost anything they'd taken quite a few chunks out of the paper, so I'd suggest feeding well for a few days before using them to try and get any inks etc out of their system, especially if feeding to reptiles/inverts. Having the paper in the bag also meant large groups of them had crawled inside the folds and creases, but they're easy enough to collect, so long as you're not bothered by touching them.No food (other than their newspaper snack!) seems to have been placed in the bag with them, so you'll want to either buy a commercial feeder diet (like BugGrub) or make your own using cereals and flaked fish food.Good value for money, too. I was worried when I initially opened the bag that they may have used paper to up the perceived weight slightly, but after removing the paper and weighing the bag we got around 50grams more than we ordered, so they're definitely not skimpers!I've seen a few product questions regarding keeping them going, so I'll give my two pennies on that and say the way I've kept them over the years is in a RUB/plastic storage box with holes in the lid with wood shavings (like you would use for rodents etc) as a substrate. Scatter plenty of food on top and offer a slice of vegetable every day or so as a water source, removing it as soon as it dries out/starts to turn so as to prevent mould.

I have brought Mealworms from this seller before and once again they have arrived safely and in a good condition. The weight of the package meets as specified and their size is within the sales details, there were some smaller worms but not as bad as others I have bought from other retailers . There were no ‘other’ species of bugs within the order which shows the seller takes care with each order. The worms are destined for the nesting birds around my location so they are perfect for that use.

Perfect. We order these for feeding the birds while they are breeding. Quick to despatch and well packaged. Thanks

Came in a good tough sack inside a box.They were lose in the sack but unless you are going to use the hole 500g at once needed to be put in a container of some sort. These are living creatures and although were going to be bird food had to be looked after until their fate. I found it strange not to have any information/instructions on how to keep and look after mealworms in the box/sack they came in.I bought a pack of bran flakes (69p lidl) and blitzed the lot in a food blender. I then got a plastic storage box and poured the powdered flakes in and put the worms in that. They also need to be fed and watered so I give them any veg that's starting to go ie Tom's,cucumber,carrot ect ect. Hope this helps.I'm only going to give the seller 4 🌟 because of there being no info on how to keep and look after these creatures.

My order is always really well packed and and secure, the live mealworms have plenty of space, I've been using Livefoods4u for a few years now, never any problems,

These arrived on time and in very good condition. They are very lively and busy eating bran and apple though their ultimate fate is to be food for the huge number of baby birds in my garden.
