Dried mealworms do not contain any sultanas or raisins.
Dried mealworms are readily taken by a wide variety of wild birds, particularly insect eating birds and are a firm favourite of Robins! They are a very high protein food source which is essential for birds, especially during the moult season in late summer which can last up to 5 weeks.
Mealworms are the larval stage of the mealworm beetle (Tenebrio Molitor) which is a species of the Darkling Beetle. Live mealworms can be very expensive and need to be fed quickly after purchase, so dried mealworms are a cheaper and much cleaner alternative to provide your wild birds without losing much of the nutritional content.
Dried mealworms can be rehydrated prior to feeding by soaking in warm water to provide the birds with additional moisture; this is particularly helpful during spring as the added moisture makes the mealworms easier for young birds to swallow. When natural insect supplies are low, particularly in winter, insect loving birds will turn to gardens for an alternative food source.
NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
Delivery:
Staying true to why we started Peckamix, we still make all our bird food to order in small batches and process it all by hand. This means your bird food is as fresh as possible and hasn't been sat in a warehouse for months. This does however mean we are unlikely to despatch your order same day as we need to make it for you! Please allow 3-5 days for your order to arrive.
Orders over £40 qualify for free delivery to most parts of the UK Mainland. Postcode exclusions apply, details can be found here.
For orders under £40 there is a £3.95 delivery charge.
Returns:
You have the right to return any unwanted goods up to a maximum period of 30 days after you receive the goods. If you cancel your order after it has been dispatched, you are responsible for returning the goods at your own expense.
