There good
I love getting mealworms from them, they were all alive as well has they had food in the container of shipment.
Our live Mealworms at Fluker Farms are the highest quality that your pets will ever have the pleasure of tasting!
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.

Q. What birds eat mealworms?
A. Some people think that if you don't have bluebirds, there's no reason to feed mealworms. But even if you don't have the right habitat for bluebirds, many other birds will enjoy them, including some of our most beloved feeder birds. We've had chickadees nuthatches, and titmice eat mealworms from the feeders at our house. Other birds that eat mealworms regularly include wrens, orioles, woodpeckers, and some warblers, like the Pine Warbler.

Q. How do I serve mealworms to the birds?
A. Put mealworms in a feeder visible and accessible to the birds. For birds that are not routinely at your feeder (orioles, bluebirds, robins), put the feeder near where you have seen them feeding or perching. Common feeder birds will eat mealworms right at their regular feeding station. Because mealworms can crawl, it is best to place them in a feeder where they cannot crawl out: a cup-type feeder with smooth sides that are more than 1" high. A tray or platform feeder can also be used, but make sure it has sides so the mealworms don't crawl out.

Q. Do roasted or dried mealworms work as well as live mealworms?
A. Frankly, no. I won't say that birds will never eat dead, dried-out mealworms, but I can say that fresh, live mealworms will ALWAYS be preferred over dried or roasted or canned mealworms.

Q. What fun behavior can I look for if I feed mealworms to the birds?
A. Look for parent birds taking a mouthful of mealworms back to the nest or nest box to feed to their nestlings. After the young leave the nest, watch for parent birds feeding mealworms to their fledglings, as they cry and wing quiver in a tree. Watch juvenile birds approach a mealworm feeder on their own, helping themselves to the food for the first few times in their life! Bluebirds will become accustomed to you feeding mealworms and will wait nearby as you fill the feeder, and swoop in as soon as you've left.

Q. How do you keep mealworms?
A. Our mealworms are shipped in regular boxes and therefore need to be transferred to a plastic container with small holes. Any kind of bran or meal should be added to the plastic container for bedding and food. They can be kept for weeks at 40 - 50 degrees F in the refrigerator. Lower temperatures can kill them. They will be slow moving when they are in the fridge. About every two weeks or so, pull the container out of the fridge, add a few small chunks of carrot or potato, which they will consume as a source of moisture. At the end of the day, remove any remaining carrot or potato, replace the cover, and put them back in the fridge. When buying mealworms, make it your last stop on the way home. Leaving mealworms in a warm or hot car for hours can kill them. You can get a lot of enjoyment from watching birds eat mealworms, and the mealworms are quite a treat for the birds!

3/4" meal worms
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.

1000 Mealworms great price
We ordered 1000 mealworms for my daughter's AG project. They arrived on GA three days later. They were all alive. The price was great and shipping very reasonable. We will use them again for sure.

Wonderful Service!
I received my box of 1000 medium mealworms within only a few days! They were all alive with only a few in the pupa state! I will be buying all my worms here from now on, for the price and quality excel that of any pet store I have been to. They even emailed me a very informative care guide that would be very useful for any beginners, or anyone who would like to learn more! I could not reccomend them enough!!

Not a good deal
I purchased 500, hoping that I would get 300-400 if a fifth of them died during shipping, but instead I got around 200 (or less). Between 50 and 75 are already pupae, which is still edible for my leo but if I wanted pupae I would've ordered pupae. Bottom line, I'm extremely disappointed with this company for telling me I would receive 500 and instead send me 200. That's less than half of what I ordered. I don't recommend this product and I wish they offered refunds because this is ridiculous. I WILL be calling them on when they open on Monday and complaining. Not acceptable.

Live Mealworms
I have never ordered live mealworms before this year, but Fluker Farms has made it easy to order and sent instructions on how to take care of my worms. I have been happy with their size, and was especially happy when I had to contact them to change my order. They offered an immediate solution and I received the increased order in just a few days.

Mealworms
My animal hospital needs a dependable source of mealworms for all the exotic species we treat and for our resident insectivorous bats (non-releasable injuries). We've tried many companies over the years, and Fluker's has furnished by far the most dependable service and highest quality mealworms. I highly recommend them.

The Best
I have ordered meal worms and super worms from Flukers for some time. I feel as though I am an expert in birding as I've been doing this for 30+ years. The worms are in great shape upon receiving them. The packing is always perfect. I would never shop somewhere else for my live worms. I HIGHLY recommend Fluker's
