Dried Mealworms

Protein-rich dried mealworms, a favourite of robins and blackbirds and a welcome boost for birds in winter when insects are scarce.

£5.99

Dried mealworms are a natural, protein-rich food that insect-eating birds find hard to resist. They're especially valuable in spring and summer, when parent birds are busy feeding hungry chicks, and in winter, when insects are hard to find. Scatter them on a table or ground tray or mix them with your favourite seed.

Key features:

  • High in protein for energy, growth and feather moult
  • Valuable through the nesting season and cold spells
  • Can be soaked to add moisture in warm weather
  • Feed on their own or mixed with seed
  • Attracts robins, blackbirds, wrens, starlings and tits
Shipping calculated at checkout.

Robins are usually the first to arrive, often within minutes, followed by blackbirds, song thrushes and dunnocks. Wrens will dart in from nearby cover, while blue tits and great tits take them from tables and dishes. Starlings may arrive in a busy, chattering group.

Mealworms are rich in protein and fats, helping birds keep their energy up in cold weather and supporting growth and feather moult. In spring, pair them with calciworms for extra calcium while birds are laying eggs and raising young.

Q1. Where and how much should I feed?
Offer on a bird table, ground tray, shallow dish or mealworm feeder, near a hedge or shrub for cover. In warm, dry weather, soak them in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes before feeding. A small handful a day is plenty, as they're best fed alongside seed.

Q2. How do I store it and keep feeders clean?
Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a lidded container. Clear away any soaked mealworms that haven't been eaten by the end of the day. Clean tables, trays and dishes every week or two with hot soapy water or a wildlife-safe disinfectant.
