However, my wild freathered friends have assured me that they are extremely yummy. Even my chickens launch themselves at me like a pack of enthusiastic labrador puppies to get first dibs. Also, can I say that the packaging is absolutely adorable (I've sent photos to all my friends)! Oh, and they are also dispatched really quickly. I highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 May 2026* Great for wild birds especially while they are rearing young. Fast delivery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value, well packaged *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 April 2020* Arrived promptly by Royal Mail. All look fat and healthy. Packaged securely, no escapees from the bag (which was a woven, tarp-like material, not dissimilar to bags reptiles are sometimes transported in). The only issue I have with the packaging is that the padding was inside the bag, instead of surrounding it in the box as I would have expected. The padding used was newspaper, too, rather than something like brown packing paper; as mealworms will chew on almost anything they'd taken quite a few chunks out of the paper, so I'd suggest feeding well for a few days before using them to try and get any inks etc out of their system, especially if feeding to reptiles/inverts. Having the paper in the bag also meant large groups of them had crawled inside the folds and creases, but they're easy enough to collect, so long as you're not bothered by touching them.No food (other than their newspaper snack!) seems to have been placed in the bag with them, so you'll want to either buy a commercial feeder diet (like BugGrub) or make your own using cereals and flaked fish food.Good value for money, too. I was worried when I initially opened the bag that they may have used paper to up the perceived weight slightly, but after removing the paper and weighing the bag we got around 50grams more than we ordered, so they're definitely not skimpers!I've seen a few product questions regarding keeping them going, so I'll give my two pennies on that and say the way I've kept them over the years is in a RUB/plastic storage box with holes in the lid with wood shavings (like you would use for rodents etc) as a substrate. Scatter plenty of food on top and offer a slice of vegetable every day or so as a water source, removing it as soon as it dries out/starts to turn so as to prevent mould. ## Frequently Bought Together - Livefoods4u Live Mealworm 500g Bulk Bag (20-30mm) - Live Food for Reptiles & Garden Birds - Livefood UK Live Wax Moth Larvae 2 tubs of 50 WaxWorms 15g per tub (2 x 50) in shavings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48386851-live-mealworms-500g-bulk-bag-20-30mm-reptile-and-bird](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48386851-live-mealworms-500g-bulk-bag-20-30mm-reptile-and-bird) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
