5 lb bag is a great money-saver for those with hens addicted to mealworms

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017

Size: 1.88 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I just purchased the 5 lb bag of these mealworms since my girls go through them very quickly. They go bananas when they see the red bag; in fact, when I brought the bag out to the hen house yesterday to give them a treat, it was total anarchy - one of the girls even flew up and landed on my shoulder just so she could get her greedy beak in first, LOL! I don't understand the negative reviews. It does suck that the worms are imported from China but from what I understand, they don't process mealworms here in the U.S. I've bought this same brand at the local farmer's supply store as well as the local grain mill and they smell/look exactly the same as the ones from Amazon. This bag was in good shape too, not smashed and broken up mealworms. I've had issues with the bottom of the bag being powdery with the Amazon ones as well as the store bought ones, but seeing how they are dried out and crispy worms, I'm not surprised that this occurs.

Brings joy to all involved

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021

Size: 10 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

My chickens are like my dog when they hear the crinkle of their treat bag they start going crazy. I’m not sure if they like them or just like the fact that they get to peck me when I go in to give them their little crispy dried worms but either way we both get joy from this chicken treat worm game. I have ordered several bags and they arrived quickly without any issues. The worms are slightly oily so they do not stick to my hands when I toss them out unlike real worms. I now have my chickens eating from the palms of my hands, got em right where I want them.... now if they would only learn to clean up after themselves. Update 8/29/2021: I recently read somewhere that it is not good to feed chickens mealworms or maybe not on a regular basis. I can’t remember exactly so I rarely give to them anymore. I recommend to do research before buying.

Price is what I didn't like. Chickens love them, that's what I did like about them.

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013

Size: 1.88 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I can't confirm how good these taste BUT I saw a bluebird in my yard (previously a rare treat) so put up a hanging mealworms feeder and bought these mealworms. I knew that Bluebirds loved live mealworms, but freeze dried?

Within a few days, I had three pairs of Bluebirds making constant trips to my feeder. A few other species such as wrens were also frequenting. I am going to build a bigger feeder where the birds enter through holes in plexiglass.

Is there a downside? Yes! Unlike seed feeders that need to be filled every few days, these mealworms are devoured almost immediately! I go through about two ounces per day. I should be able to get a tax deduction!

Here's a hint.... Every time you fill your feeder, whistle or ring a little bell. You'll be sure to go through these quicker as the birds will get trained to the feeding sound :-)
