How Much Should I Feed?

Dried mealworms are a treat, not a complete feed. Start small, see what gets eaten, and adjust from there.

Wild garden birds

A small handful in a tray or feeder each morning, topped up if it clears quickly.

Roughly 30–50g a day for a busy feeding station.

Chickens and poultry

Keep treats to about 10% of daily intake so it does not displace their layer feed.

Around a tablespoon per bird per day.

Reptiles and turtles

Offer as part of a varied diet, soaked first so they are not fed dry.

Follow your vet or keeper’s guidance on frequency.

Fish and small animals

A few worms at a time, only as much as gets eaten within a few minutes.

Remove anything uneaten from the water.

In hot weather, soak the worms in warm water for a few minutes first. It softens them and adds moisture, which matters most for fledglings and reptiles.

Common Questions

Which animals eat dried mealworms?

Wild garden birds, chickens and other poultry, reptiles, fish, sugar gliders and hedgehogs all take dried mealworms readily. They are a treat rather than a complete feed, so serve them alongside a balanced diet.

How much should I feed?

For garden birds, a small handful in a tray or feeder each morning is plenty. For chickens, keep mealworms to roughly 10% of daily intake.

Do dried mealworms need soaking?

No. Soaking in warm water for a few minutes softens them and adds moisture, which helps in hot weather and when feeding fledglings, but it is optional.

Can humans eat these mealworms?

No. Our dried mealworms are an animal feed only and are clearly labelled NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
