Maybe you’re already feeding fresh or dried or frozen Mealworms to your birds, in which case, you already know what fantastic food they are! But just in case you’ve never served Mealworms to your flock, we’ve got some info that might help you. 
 
 As a bonus, encouraging your birds to forage means they’ll start scratching around for bugs, even when you’re not feeding them, which can help keep your garden clear of pests.
 
Chickens, ducks, poultry and wildBuy mealworms for chickens in Australia birds all find mealworms irresistible, but they’re also a huge hit with lizards, other reptiles, turtles, frogs, arachnids and many other omnivorous pets.
 
If you haven’t touched many bugs before, you might be a bit hesitant to hand feed mealworms to your pet, but they’re actually very clean and easy to handle. This makes them great for hand feeding to wildlife, which will encourage more local birds to visit your property for these safe and healthy snacks.
 
We’ve been supplying our premium mealworms to zoos, sanctuaries, breeders and pet owners for over 35 years, helping to ensure a healthy diverse diet for happy animals. We have mealworms in a range of sizes and quantities too, so whether you’re feeding one tiny frog or a whole flock of greedy chickens, we can provide everything you need. 
 
If you’d like to see how mealworms go for your feathered friends, head to our website and order a tub today. We reckon your pets will love them!
 
Happy bird keeping,
Lisa and the Nest Box Online team.
