Snowy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Mine love mealworms, but not too sure if it really is their favourite. It could just as easily be grapes, .... or sweetcorn, ...... or raisins, ...... or cereal. In fact if it's edible they pretty much mug you for it.

Laura & CTB Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Mine really love grapes the best (I think) but they HATE meal worms - I've tried feeding them every once in a while since I've had the girls and even bought different tubs just in case there was a problem with the first tub but they just wont eat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Oooh, difficult. Mine love mealworms and sweetcorn but they nearly bite my fingers off for grapes so I've gone for that option! They LOVE them !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Mine really love grapes the best (I think) but they HATE meal worms - I've tried feeding them every once in a while since I've had the girls and even bought different tubs just in case there was a problem with the first tub but they just wont eat them Without a single doubt, mealworms are the very very best treat in the whole world for my chickens. Nothing beats a mealworm Laura, I am very happy to buy your unwanted mealworms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Laura, I am very happy to buy your unwanted mealworms. Sorry Ginette - I fed them to the wild birds at work - all £15 worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Mealworms here too. They turn into monsters if thet see me go anywhere near the container! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yep mine love mealworms too esp the live ones, i only ordered them once by mistake, but im sure the girls are hoping it happens again! Strawberries are a top treat too, and sweetcorn, and cucumber and blueberries and grapes and ... do i need to go on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Mine love grapes. They love mealworms too - the live ones of course ! I don't buy them too often so they are a real treat...the hamsters love live mealworms too but it's a bit to watch them eating them - grab, spin around, bit off head, munch, munch, munch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Apart from the rather expensive dried mealworms mine like live yoghurt (vet, sick chicken etc etc), pearl barley, banana, berries, lettuce, cabbage and porridge made with water. I've started tying up stalks of garden leaves and they decimate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 It's mealworms for my girls too! Although they are partial to banana, they do tend to like living treats the best, snails, worms, caterpillars, ants, frogs This afternoon they have also enjoyed a cup of coffee They really won't have sweetcorn though.
