Chicken on a mission Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 OMG I have just seen the price they are charging for mealworms http://www.livefoodsbypost.co.uk/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=219 This is the best place to go. I have been getting all my reptile supplies from him for more years than I care to remember and postage is included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have managed to avoid introducing my spoilt little darlings to the joy of meal worms, but for when I give in, it is nice to know of a cheap place to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Mine get enough earthworms without mealworms as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yup - mine eat so many I worry about having any left, but I think the hen run provides a wonderful breeding and growing area for earthworms - everytime I turn over some of the soil there are loads of them including really big fat ones which the girls fight over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken on a mission Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I would never have dreamt that I would would be ordering treats for my girls from my herpetological supplier I have to admit that I bought a tub of dried mealworms a while back and the girls get the occasional sprinkling of these in the run. They are such greedy little beggars. When the builder came to do the raised planter, he worridly asked if the girls bite. I explained that they will do their best to get in his way especially if they think that he might be a good source of treats and put them back in the run to stop them looking at his work critically They did keep chasing him up and down the garden looking for treats which surprised him.

Trish Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 We have a lizard and a snake here as well as the rest of the zoo. The lizard eats crickets and will only eat them live so any that die before she gets them end up as chicken treats. It sounds like they are eating crisps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken on a mission Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Trish, Thanks a lot for that. I never though of feeding the dead crickets (not that we get that many) to the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
