Looking at those big yellow Mealworm sacks at the pet store, have you wondered, “Do I really just toss these to my birds or lizards?” The honest truth is that, in a few afternoons, dried Mealworms will propel you from novice to expert. Not needed a fancy degree in science or specialized understanding. These flaws reflect a basic, plain diet. Start right in and have faith in yourself. Finding our additional info for latest update!
Made either freeze-dried or roasted live worms, dried mealworms seal in a protein punch almost exactly equal to fifty percent. For them, wild birds and chickens both go crazy. Lines from bluebirds, robins, finches, at the buffet will define a feeder.
If you worry about fat, 25 to 30 percent of the weight of dried mealworms comes from fat. It is concentrated, thus take them as a complement instead of the main dinner. Among other questions, people ask me whether I soak them. Dried mealworms bathed in warm water for 15 to 30 minutes come back to life—that is, not exactly but rather plump and soften. Chickens, ducklings, and aquatic life all appreciate this. Softening promotes digestion and swallowing.
Mealworms are easily maintained dried through. Store the bag unopened in a cool, dry pantry and you will be set for months. Good storage guarantees no odd smells. Still, if they become moist you will start a scientific investigation. Best feed them before it starts.
Mealworms are not particularly discriminating about company. Scatter throughout the yard for wild visitors, mix into treats for backyard chickens, or occasionally use as a fishing snack. Though they provide birds beautiful feathers, reptiles bright scales, and fish a development boost, they do not replace entire diets. You will know what to grab the next time you find your dogs fixed on you with that “hint-hint.” Dried mealworms no frills, all thrill, and lots of thrilled animals begging for seconds.
