How much is US shipping?

+ -

We offer free ground shipping on all orders within the United States. Expedited shipping options are available for an additional fee.

How should I store my dried treats?

+ -

1. Keep them in an airtight container: Dried mealworms can absorb moisture from the air, which can cause them to spoil or become moldy. To prevent this, store them in an airtight container such as a plastic or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

2. Store them in a cool, dry place: Exposure to heat and moisture can also cause dried mealworms to spoil. To keep them fresh, store them in a cool, dry place such as a pantry or cupboard. Avoid storing them in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity.

3. Check for signs of spoilage: Even when stored properly, dried mealworms can go bad if they are old or have been contaminated. Before feeding them to your chickens or other animals, check for any signs of spoilage such as a foul odor, discoloration, or mold. If you notice any of these signs, discard the mealworms and do not feed them to your animals.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your dried mealworms remain fresh and safe for your animals to consume.

How much should I feed my chickens?

+ -

It's important to remember that dried mealworms should not be the sole source of nutrition for chickens, but rather a supplement to their regular diet of chicken feed and fresh water. As with any food supplement, it's important to introduce dried mealworms gradually and in moderation to avoid overfeeding or digestive issues.

Feeding dried mealworms to your chickens is easy and can be done in a variety of ways.

Here are some tips for feeding dried mealworms to your chickens:

  1. Start with small quantities: It's important to introduce dried mealworms gradually to your chickens to avoid overfeeding or digestive issues. Start by offering a small amount of dried mealworms and gradually increase the amount over time.
  2. Offer them as a treat: Dried mealworms should be offered as a supplement or treat, rather than a replacement for your chicken's regular feed. You can offer them as a standalone snack or mix them in with your chicken's regular feed to add variety to their diet.
  3. Choose an appropriate feeding method: There are a variety of feeding methods that you can use to offer dried mealworms to your chickens. You can sprinkle them on the ground, offer them in a dish or feeder, or scatter them throughout the chicken coop to encourage natural foraging behavior.
  4. Offer fresh water: It's important to provide fresh water at all times when offering dried mealworms to your chickens. This will help keep your chickens hydrated and ensure that they can properly digest the dried mealworms.

As for what amount of dried mealworms to feed your chickens, it's important to remember that they should be given in moderation. A good rule of thumb is to offer no more than 10% of your chicken's daily feed in the form of dried mealworms. For example, if your chickens eat 1/2 cup of feed per day, you could offer them up to 1 tablespoon of dried mealworms as a supplement.

Overall, feeding dried mealworms to your chickens is a great way to provide them with a nutritious and tasty supplement to their regular diet. Just be sure to introduce them gradually and in moderation, and always provide fresh water when feeding them to your chickens.
