These mealworms are a consistent crowd pleaser
I have ordered these FCI GRUBS mealworms several times and they have always been a big hit with my roadrunners and mockingbirds. They come in a decent quality resealable plastic bag and Amazon has done a pretty good job delivering them in a shipping box, the only exception was one bag which had more crumbled pieces than expected due to inadequate packing material. The bag also has a Best By date stamped on it, but it is not easy to see. I will continue to reorder this FCI GRUBS brand of mealworms unless the quality changes and/or the price is no longer competitive.

FCI GRUBS Dried Mealworms 9LB-High Protein Chicken Feed,More Protein,No Additives,Premium Organic Non-GMO are, in my opinion, the best mealworms I have ordered from Amazon. I have tried several other brands, but these are the best.

4 Bums Up!
Of course, our girls love these! After an ‘excruciating’ afternoon being let out of their coop and free-ranging the backyard, our hens emphatically wait for their treat of meal worms. I unsuccessfully tried doing a side-by-side taste test with our other brand and had to differ to the nutritional analysis to get an unbiased review. With the most notable variance being in calcium, it ultimately comes down to pricing for the size needed. We already store ours in an airtight container meant for such feed and therefore buy in larger quantities at a better price. But if you have a smaller flock or other pets that enjoy these sustainable treats, the pricing (with coupon) is a reasonable way to go.
