What Are Dried Mealworms?
Dried mealworms are the dehydrated larvae of the Tenebrio molitor beetle. In the wild, insect-eating birds rely heavily on insects as their primary protein source. By offering dried mealworms, you are replicating their natural diet in a convenient, mess-free form.
They provide essential protein, healthy fats, and calories needed for muscle maintenance, feather condition, breeding success, and year-round energy.

Feeding Guide – How & When to Use
All-Year Feeding
Suitable throughout the year, but particularly beneficial during winter when natural insect populations decline.
Spring & Nesting Season
For young birds and fledglings, soak dried mealworms in lukewarm water for 20–30 minutes before feeding. This softens them and increases hydration, making them safer and easier to consume.
How to Serve
- Scatter directly onto the ground or bird table.
- Use a dedicated mealworm feeder.
- Mix with wild bird seed blends for added nutritional variety.
Tip: Position feeders near perching areas to help birds feel secure when feeding in new locations.
