Cat tunnels for catio wanted

Just wondering whether mealworms should be regarded as a 'treat food' and only given in moderation, or whether it is good for them so can be given liberally?

there just about pure protein so wouldn't have thought limiting them was a problem for any reason other than the price!

mealworms should be a treat. Whilst we enjoy indulging our feathered friends too much of a good thing is bad for them. Their main diet should be their layers pellets...or growers...its a balance if boring meal...treats are for fun and interest or you will have fat birds who don't lay well...or so I am told. I couldn't afford to buy enough for 10 birds as grub not treat

Mealworms have their nutritional value, they are packed with protein and at this time of year, I wouldn't worry about feeding as much as your pocket can allow....

 

They will diminish their laying, but so will the weather

 

I have so many girls moulting that my lot had about 200g between them tonight

 

It's very different from corn which is fattening, that should be limited to an egg cup a day per girl
