Mini Mealworms (9-13mm)
Mini mealworms are part-grown larvae of the Tenebrio molitor beetle, carefully graded to ensure a consistent size of 9–13 mm. They’re ideal for small insectivorous birds, aviary birds, and wild birds, especially nestlings and softbills. If you’re looking for mini mealworms for young birds, these are one of the safest and most reliable options.
Removed from their feed while still young and tender, mini mealworms are less than a third of the size of regular mealworms but offer the same nutritional value. They’re rich in protein, easy to store, and highly attractive during breeding and rearing seasons—especially when you need small mealworms for nestlings.
These British-bred live mealworms are supplied in bulk sacks packed with plain egg card for easy unpacking, with no bat packs required. Mini mealworms are an excellent alternative to buffalo worms: equally nutritious, more affordable, and simpler to handle.
