Wriggle-free goodness for birds - feed dried mealworms straight from the bag or mix them with your favourite bird food to add additional protein.
Dried mealworms have many of the advantages of live mealworms but also have additional benefits; they can be mixed with softfoods and seed mixes. We recommend using dried mealworms judiciously during the breeding season and ideally moistening them prior to use by soaking them in warm water to rehydrate them for youngsters. They can also be fed as they are - straight from the bag, as they deliver extra protein all year round.
Dried mealworms are a popular and nutritious treat for garden birds, offering a variety of benefits that contribute to the well-being of these feathered visitors. These small, protein-packed morsels are a convenient and versatile food source that can attract a diverse range of bird species to your garden.
One significant advantage of feeding dried mealworms to garden birds is their high protein content. Birds require protein for various physiological functions, especially during breeding seasons when demands for energy and nutrients are heightened. Dried mealworms serve as a valuable supplemental food source, providing the essential proteins necessary for muscle development, feather maintenance, and overall vitality.
The concentrated nutritional profile of dried mealworms also includes beneficial fats, vitamins, and minerals. These components contribute to the overall health of garden birds, supporting functions such as metabolism, immune response, and the development of strong beaks and bones. Additionally, the fat content of mealworms serves as a valuable energy source, helping birds meet their daily energy requirements.
Feeding dried mealworms to garden birds can attract a wide array of species, including insectivores like robins, blackbirds, and wrens. The versatility of mealworms makes them an excellent supplement to traditional birdseed, offering a diverse diet that appeals to different bird preferences.
Moreover, dried mealworms can be used to create interactive feeding experiences. Placing them in specialised feeders or scattering them on the ground encourages natural foraging behaviours, providing mental stimulation for birds. This engagement contributes to a more dynamic and enjoyable environment for both the birds and the birdwatchers.
When incorporating dried mealworms into your garden bird feeding routine, it's essential to ensure the quality of the product, and that the mealworms are free from contaminants and properly preserved. Additionally, moderation is key, as dried mealworms should be offered as a supplement rather than a primary food source.
Dried mealworms are a valuable, nutritious addition to the diet of garden birds, providing essential protein, fat, and other nutrients. Their versatility, attraction of bird species, and potential for interactive feeding experiences make dried mealworms a delightful and beneficial component of any garden bird feeding regime.

Excellent the birds love them
Hello, thank you for the positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our Dried Mealworms are a hit with the birds.
My garden birds can’t get enough of these dried mealworms. This photo was taken today in the garden.
Brilliant. Devoured in seconds - then we let the fledglings have a go!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear the birds enjoy our mealworms so much. Happy birdwatching!
The birds love these and as it’s nesting season I soak them overnight so they’re nice and moist they’re gone before you know it
Hello Diane, many thanks for your review.
Easy to use and very popular!
Hello, thank you for leaving a review! We're glad to hear that our Dried Mealworms are easy to use and popular with your wild birds.
I put some out hoping for the Robin to appear and the starlings and sparrows ate them all within a very short time. So conclusion is they are tasty for curds 😋
Hello, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that the starlings and sparrows enjoyed our dried mealworms. Our products are designed to attract a variety of wild birds, and it seems like they were a hit in your area. We hope you continue to see a variety of birds visiting your garden. Happy birdwatching!
Always very popular with the blackbirds and starlings.
Hello Helen. Thank you so much for your positive review! We are thrilled to hear that our Dried Mealworms are always a hit with the blackbirds and starlings. Their satisfaction is our top priority. Thank you for choosing our product.
Unfailingly popular with all my bird visitors. I like the idea your previous reviewer has of secreting them among other foods. My bird visitors will not attempt to go inside my ‘cage within a cage’ feeder to eat the peanuts. One brave bluetit was even chased away from it by another. I shall try putting mealworms amongst the peanuts and hope for success.
Hello, thank you for your review and for sharing your clever idea of mixing the dried mealworms with other foods. We are glad to hear that the birds are enjoying them and we hope your new method will be successful. Thank you for choosing our dried mealworms for wild birds.
Excellent - no complaints
Hello Mandy. Thank you for your positive feedback! We are so glad to hear that you are satisfied with our product. Thank you for choosing our dried mealworms for wild birds.
You don't want to overfeed anything on dried mealworms, so you might want to try a few "tricks". I find it good to make a game of it so birds have to hunt for and discover them. They quickly get the message. I found mixing a few in with peanuts in a peanut-feeder drives them crackers! They have to find them and winkle them out. You can put a "surprise" layer in an ordinary seed feeder - so a small quantity suddenly becomes available. Wow! Or just leave a few in random places - they will quickly learn what you are up to and keep an eye on you!
Hello, thank you for your review and for sharing your tips on how to use our Dried Mealworms for wild birds. We love the idea of making a game out of it and allowing the birds to hunt and discover the mealworms. It's also a great way to prevent overfeeding. We appreciate your creative suggestions. Happy bird watching!
all the garden birds love them
Hello Trevor. Thank you for leaving such a positive review for our Dried Mealworms! We're so happy to hear that they're a hit with all the garden birds.
A flock of starlings demolishes the contents of a bird feeder every morning
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that the starlings are enjoying our dried mealworms so much. It sounds like they are quite the eager eaters. Thank you for choosing our product.
I've previously bought meal worms from the garden centre but so much of the product was meal worn 'dust'. The Haiths meals worms are expensive by comparison but the quality is just fantastic and I won't be returning to the cheaper brand. Also the Haiths packaging is plastic free so an environmentally friendly choice and super fast delivery (day after order!!). Very impressed

Haith's delivered my mealworms ahead of time from Grimsby to Devon without delivery charge; quality is premium; don't buy bird food from any other supplier than Haiths due to their quality/freshness. Thank you Haiths.
Kind regards
Lorraine
Hello Lorraine, thank you for this lovely review. Dried mealworms are certainly a popular choice and we're glad the birds are enjoying them!
Mix the mealworms with suet pellets and sunflower hearts and the mealworms always disappear first. Excellent f9od.
Hello, thank you for this great review. Dried Mealworms certainly go down a treat!
My birds adore these, particularly the starlings and blackbirds. Sparrows struggle a bit with them, especially the fledglings. Would recommend and will be buying again.
Hello Susan, thank you for this great review. We are glad to hear that the garden birds are enjoying our Dried Mealworms.
The meal worms are good..birds like them! The delivery was very fast.
Hello, many thanks for your great review.
Always good quality bird food from Haiths
Hello Eileen, thank you very much for posting this great review.
Arrived with speed. Birds love the ixture
Hello Sheila, thank you for your review. This is great to hear!
I put mealworms out with other foods and they are readily eaten by most of the visitors to the garden.
Hello Lynn, thank you for your review. Dried Mealworms are always a hit with the garden birds
The blackbirds go for these before anything else. I mix them in with the suet pellets.
These seem to attract the most feathered visitors but chaos ensues. The starlings bully the wood pigeons for them, the magpie and jackdaws join in the scrum and the blackbirds hop about collecting all the scattered bits that the messier eaters have flung around. We daren't put any laundry out when we've dished out the mealworms! :-D
Morning Heidi, thank you for your review. Dried Mealworms certainly sound popular in your garden!
I rehydrate these and put some on my kitchen window-sill, where the robin and blackbird compete to see who gets there first! My nightly meals for the hedgehogs also contains plenty of these, with special hedgehog food and chopped peanuts.
Hello, many thanks for your lovely review, lovely to hear that your robins & blackbirds are tucking into them. We would however advise feeding hedgehogs with them sparingly as an occasional treat & not as a daily diet.
Very popular with the starlings in hanging containers; the blackbirds also make them vanish in minutes from the ground cage. Dry, no smell, very little dust.
Hello Helen, thank you for taking the time to write a review. It's great to hear that your blackbirds and starlings like them so much.
They are very tasty.....the robins love them.
That's great to hear, thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
Our birds love these so happy to provide them great value
Thank you Sue, that's great to hear.
