Chicken boarders

Wilkinsons are now doing a 3ltr tube of meal worms for 7.99. Saturday i got 3 as there was one pound off

[gongladosh]

sounds good - I might have a look on the way home.

[Julia W]

What does that 3 ltr tub weigh in grams or kgs? I bought a 2kg bag from eBay for just over £20 where as recently I bought an 800g tub for £19.99, not sure how this compares with Wilkinsons

[jackian]

Mine were from Wilkos and my girls would kill for them.Have not seen the offer though so I

will look out for that .

I bought some live ones in Pets at Home this evening ....... my hens are in heaven

[lindafw]

my son buys his from http://www.thelivefoodwarehouse.co.uk/ we breed reptiles so he buys loads....I get the ones he doesn't use when they pupate...my girls enjoy them!

[Julia W]

I had a choice on-line of the live ones or the dried ones - I opted for the dried ones. I also like the smell of them, am I unusual?

Yes, I think they stink nasty

[Julia W]

Perhaps I am strange then because I used to love the smell of petrol, bone meal, disinfectant in hot water and amonia when I was pregnant with my second baby. Also love the smell of damp and loved the smell of the cole hole when I was a child. But this is all going off the subject of the mealworms - sorry about that.

Most people I know like the smell of petrol - but MEALWORMS?? ick!

[Julia W]

Funnily enough you're right about people liking the smell of petrol, though my daughter hates the smell of petrol, perhaps that's because whenever hubby used to fill the car up I would hang my head out of the car door and breathe in all that lovely smell. She probably overdosed on it.

Couldn't have put it better myself!!!

[gongladosh]

live mealworms were reduced to £1 a tub in Pets at Home today - so I bought 5 tubs!

[johnandkymberley]

gongladosh - do you know if that was just your store e.g were they reduced or on sale? xx

[johnandkymberley]

According to my kitchen scales, 686g

 

Also, you guys are crazy! How can you like the smell of mealworms!?

Mind you... I love the smell of wet dog!! Yes I am serious!

[Space Chick]

Not a bad deal from Wilkinsons then, however if you buy in bulk then Anne Kennedy is a fab bet, scroll down to the dried. I always buy the 3kg, the service is fantastic too, I buy every few months and have never had a problem

Yuk, wet dog is even worse than stinky mealworms, our dogs like to roll in stuff to further enhance the level of disgustingness of their wet smell. So couple wet dog (wet from a stagnent pond or water trough) with 'odour de cow pat' or 'fragrance of dead pigeon' and get the idea of how bad my spaniels smell Space Chick if I could bear to get close enough to the dogs when they smell like this I would bottle it and send you some! I however love the smell of damp old churches and other such places, I can't get enough of the mould spore!!!!!

[johnandkymberley]

thanks lucky chicken lover

 

and on the topic of lovely smells, i love the smell of my cat millie, i love to stick my nose in her fur and breathe it all in!

Yes, that's about the same deal eBay have. Shops appear to be a bit of a rip off, I always investigate the net before buying anything.

Maybe it's because I don't have a dog so I don't have to put up with it every day? Dog breath is also lovely I love it when they lick your hands so that your hands smell nice afterwards.

 

thanks lucky chicken lover

No problem

This is what I do to wet dogs! And my rabbit, Cream, although I usually end up unable to breathe afterwards because all her fluff goes up my nose!

there are times when I get scared reading some of these postings!
