It's bird watching season and cardinals, blue birds, and many others love feeding on live mealworms. Yellow mealworms, Tenebrio molitor, are believed to have originated in the mountainous regions of Iran and Northern India and migrated into Europe during biblical times. Since then mealworms were introduced into the United States around the time of the Revolutionary War. As early as the 1800's, mealworms were already being raised as a food for pets, especially birds. Today Fluker Cricket Farm is a premiere supplier of the best mealworms available. Cheap online prices with shipping Monday - Thursday including our Live Delivery Guarantee.

Which shipping method should I choose? We offer a wide variety of options for shipping your live insects. Using the chart above as reference, our customers can choose which shipping service will work best for them. It is important to take into account that transit times vary greatly between the different options. USPS First Class Mail can take up to 7 business days and Fedex Overnight is a one business day in transit service. What works well for some customers will not always work well for others. If it is during the hot summer months or cold winter months we recommend not using USPS First Class Mail because it is the slowest option and increases the risk of receiving your insects DOA. Make sure to check the weather, carefully taking into account transit time and places that your package will travel through. Also important to consider is the price between the shipping methods: USPS First Class Mail is the cheapest, Fedex Priority Overnight is the most expensive with many options in between. We try to provide as much information as possible but it is ultimately up to the customer to make the best choice based on weather and the quality of delivery services available to your area.

I have bought multiple packs of live insects from various companies. But this is the absolute best shipping ive ever had! im definitely bout his again!!
I called to amend my auto delivery order and was greeted by Valerie who was very nice and understanding. I explained the heat issue and my concern over a recent order about to be delivered while we were not home. She said “No worries, if we need to ship another order we will!” Well, much to my surprise, my meal worms were alive and well after being in a hot bank of mailboxes well over 48 hours! I had attempted to have the post office hold them, but they obviously did not get the memo!! I am so impressed with Fluker Farms.
Will definitely buy again
The meal worms arrived voracious and thirsty. All but a few survived the trip and the holdover in Baton Rouge. I fed them and gave them fresh bedding. Thank you for the service you provide. They will be ready to snuggle in for a nap later today or tomorrow. Great price and Great service.
I'll need to wait a while before they are big enough to be feeders. They're quite small. My turtle could probably eat all 500 at this size.
I always order the 500ct for my two toads and they last me a long time especially when keeping them in the fridge! I always give them fresh potato, cabbage leaves, carrots, etc. every few days. I've only seen a couple turn into pupas when I accidentally left them out. I also use Fluker's Repta Calcium powder on them and my toads love them! Container comes in a cardboard tube with an egg carton piece inside for them to roam around and it's super easy to rehome them. This is my second time ordering mealworms from Fluker's and definitely will stay loyal!
I am exceedingly with these! I ordered 1,000 mealworms that came in healthy with none DOA. The packaging also made it very simple to get them from the package into their setup.
I love getting mealworms from them, they were all alive as well has they had food in the container of shipment.
1st time ordering and was a little concerned with a freeze snap here on the east coast. Have had Blue Birds on and off over the years and the last two years they wouldn't take to the box/nest. Sooo, doing all I can and thank God soo good. They're looving them. Took to them in no time. Not sure why some of my comments are being marked with red, that's a little discouraging trying to leave such a nice review. Oh well, whatever, I'm done.
