Meal worms even the chicks go crazy for them

[symonep]

Ours hate live mealworms and will only eat dried ones :blink:

[Mahango]

Where do you get dried mealworms from?

[tosca100]

Where do you get dried mealworms from?

Feed suppliers, pet shops, Tesco. They aren't cheap, but that's because they weigh nothing and you would only use a few at a time.

[tosca100]

Or the internet!

[symonep]

We have a local pet shop that sells them at a good price, garden centres are a little more expensive

[Geo]

Where do you get dried mealworms from?

I buy mealworms on fleabay check out the different prices before buying to get the best deal.
I buy 5kilo bags with free postage.

Mine love apples  I either cut one in half and they demolish  it in seconds  or I slice one up and hand feed them  Margo, the columbian black tail, just cant get enough and will take it out of the other's mouth especially the cockerel.  I used to buy dried mealworms for the bird table, before I got the chickens, and it was about £2.50 a tub from Aldi.  But now it averages £9/£10 a kilo, like peanuts and wild bird food th eprice has gone crazy.....
