I usually buy my seed etc from B & M and other foods for the birds. I could not go out so order had to order them from Amazon. Although they were a little bit on the expensive side, the birds flocked down in droves, so I was very happy about tha
As a chicken, I love them and I give eggs back
I’ve had these for many years from this supplier. In the past they came in a cardboard box however this time they came in the thin plastic bag that hold the meal worms, ie with NO protection from splitting. Just saying! Oh, the product itself is brillia
Great value bag of mealworms.
I can only get small bags of mealworms from my supermarket and the price isn’t that great. This bag is huge and will last for ages. I also like that it’s resealable so I don’t have to find a container for it.
Highly recommend 💚
After reading the previous feedback I decided to purchase these and I can honestly say, without hesitation, that I am very pleased with my purchase. (As are the birds!) The mealworm appear to be top quality and for the price they are excellent value. Thank you, from the birds & I.
This is a great product. My poultry love them. I use them as treats, to get the poultry in for the night, as a small treat for my dog (who loves them) and for the wild birds. Decant them into a plastic tub beanies the mice love them too and nibble through most packaging. It is good value for money.
What odd features to rate
Well, bought these to go with the suet in the back garden bird feeders.
Didn’t really expect to have to rate them on scent and sturdiness.
If any of the little blighters in the back garden ever comment on either of those i’ll let you know.
BTW it’s a myth about birds abandoning their young if a human puts them back in the nest. Birds have an appalling sense of smell, almost as bad as their table manners, and wouldn’t have a clue if you had touched their young.
The birds love them.
All the birds that visit our garden love these. I have bought feeders for the smaller birds and limit the amount that I put down for larger birds otherwise the magpies would wolf the lot!
Excellent price for the amount you get, recommended!
I have purchased these mealworms several times now, and am satisfied with the quality packaging and amount you get, for the price. I have an empty 5L tub, that I refill with this bag, every other month.
The birds really enjoy them. I pour some out for the bird table, and some in the grass, for larger birds like crows and wood pigeons.
For birds with fledglings, it’s nice to leave some mealworms in a tiny bit of water, so they rehydrate a little.
Recommended!

First time I ordered these they came in a large plastic tub. Next time I ordered them I hadn’t noticed that it said a bag of mealworms. So I was pleased the way they came as I was then reusing my previous tub. All good for the environment. On the bird point – the birds that come to my garden cannot get enough of these mealworms and it’s attracted a pair of nuthatches coming to the garden on a regular basis as well as all the usual, robin, blue tit, coal tit, long tail tit plus more sparrows this year 2023 than we’ve seen in many years.
We always find the birds know what they want, either through the seasons or if feeding young and they will feed accordingly from different feeders with Sunflower Hearts, Fat Nuggets and Mealworm are all their favourites. All kept in cage type containers to hopefully keep the squirrels at bay ( but we have found 1 squirrel this year has managed to get the clip top up and he then gets inside the feeder ! the cheek of him/her).
