Luvachicken Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 My local garden centre is selling 1kg dried mealworms for 19.99 . Is that a bargain ? I thought it might make a nice Christmas present for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Nope, seems about the going rate I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I get mine a few 'chick and mix' pots of mixed dried critters every now and then, they're not too expensive if you only feed them as treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 We pay about £7 for 500g live mealworms delivered each month. Live Foods Direct, I think. The package has a sticker on that says "Urgent - Live Biological Material" - our Postie says she doesn't want to know what's inside the packet! And the mealworms have their own food too! And they like carrots .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I pay £1.99 for a 100g tub from Home Bargains, so that is comparable. I only buy about three pots of mealworms a year as I don't have many hens and feel I would feed too many if I bought in bulk! Besides, I use the 'shake the mealworm tub' method to round them up sometimes and I don't want them to get too used to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi-Hi Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I just bought a 3.5 kg pot of mixed grains and dried insects for around £15 incl postage, and they love that. The dried mealworms on their own is really expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi-Hi Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I found the ad in my poultry magazine. http://www.naturesgrub.co.uk. My mix was called Chicken seed & Insect Mix. They love it, but I'm quite mean with it Special treat only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Cheapest I've found is Anne Kennedy here Dried ones are at the bottom of the link. Excellent service as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Gas Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Have you heard of calci worms? From one of the sites mentioned earlier. Grubs with added shell performance?? http://www.livefoods.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Cheapest I've found is Anne Kennedy here Dried ones are at the bottom of the link. Excellent service as well. I agree, they are the cheapest I've found too, and the service is fantastic. In fact I ordered some on Monday this week, and they arrived on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I pay £7 for a big 500g tub from my local feed store, but they don't always have them in... must stock next time they do as I realise that's quite a bargain now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katek Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 mine don't really like mealworm - unlike the starlings in spring but ADORE tinned sweat corn - are they odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
