The high-protein treat birds can't resist.
Watch your yard come alive the moment you put out dried mealworms. Bluebirds spot them from across the yard. Robins investigate within minutes. Orioles, wrens, and chickadees follow close behind. Dry roasted for convenience, our mealworms deliver all the same high-protein nutrition as live mealworms — without the hassle of keeping them alive. No refrigeration, no mess, no dust. Just pure bird-attracting power in a 20 oz. resealable bag.
Why dried mealworms?
Live mealworms are effective but demanding — they require refrigeration, escape easily, and have a short shelf life. Duncraft's dry roasted mealworms solve all of that. They store at room temperature, pour cleanly into any feeder or dish, and can even be mixed directly into your favorite seed blend to supercharge it for insect-loving species.
- 100% dry roasted mealworms — no additives, no preservatives
- Same high-protein, high-fat nutrition as live mealworms
- No refrigeration or special storage required
- No dust, no mess — easy to pour and serve
- Serve as-is or mix into seed blends
- 20 oz. resealable bag for freshness
- Available exclusively at Duncraft
Birds attracted: Eastern Bluebirds, American Robins, Baltimore Orioles, Carolina Wrens, Black-capped Chickadees, Tree Swallows, Gray Catbirds, and many other insect-loving species.
How to feed: Offer in a shallow dish, platform feeder, or dedicated mealworm feeder. For bluebirds, place near a bluebird house or nesting box — they quickly learn to associate the feeder location with food. You can also mix a handful into any seed blend to attract a wider variety of birds to your existing feeders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are dried mealworms as good as live mealworms for birds?
Yes. Dry roasted mealworms retain the same high levels of protein and fat as live mealworms. The drying process removes moisture but preserves the nutritional value birds need. Most birds — including bluebirds, robins, and wrens — readily accept dried mealworms, especially when offered consistently in the same location.
What birds eat dried mealworms?
Dried mealworms are especially attractive to insect-eating birds including Eastern Bluebirds, American Robins, Baltimore Orioles, Carolina Wrens, chickadees, Tree Swallows, and Gray Catbirds. During nesting season, parent birds will also carry mealworms back to feed their young.
Do I need a special feeder for dried mealworms?
No special feeder is required. A shallow dish, platform feeder, or open tray works well. Dedicated mealworm feeders with small dish inserts are ideal for bluebirds since they prefer enclosed or semi-enclosed feeding areas. Avoid deep tube feeders — mealworms can get stuck in narrow ports.
How do I store dried mealworms?
Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature. No refrigeration needed. The resealable bag helps maintain freshness between uses. For best results, use within 12 months of purchase.
Can I mix dried mealworms with bird seed?
Absolutely. Mixing a handful of dried mealworms into your existing seed blend is a great way to attract insect-loving species to feeders they might otherwise ignore. It works especially well mixed with no-waste blends or sunflower chips where birds are already feeding regularly.
