Mini mealworms are part-grown Tenebrio molitor larvae, graded to a consistent 9–13 mm size. They’re ideal for small insectivorous birds, aviary birds, wild birds, and nestlings that need a reliable soft feeder insect. If you’re looking for mini mealworms for young birds, these offer safe handling and consistent nutrition.
Removed from their feed while still young, mini mealworms are less than a third of the size of standard live mealworms but provide the same protein-rich value. They’re easy to store, highly attractive during breeding and rearing seasons, and a dependable option when you need small mealworms for nestlings.
All of our British-bred live mealworms are supplied in bulk sacks packed with plain egg card for simple unpacking, no bat packs needed. Mini mealworms also make an excellent alternative to buffalo worms: similar nutrition, easier to handle, and often better value.
