Great value - but beware of the smell!
This 5kg sack of mealworms is excellent value for money, especially when compared to smaller quantities of worms in the shops.
However, do be aware that this quantity of mealworms emit an unpleasant, musty smell. The 'raffia' type material of the sack is porous which allows the contents to keep aired but it also lets the smell of the worms out. I made the mistake of keeping the sack indoors at first but it's now in an outside cupboard where it doesn't cause a problem. I suppose another answer would be to decant the worms into sealed containers in smaller amounts.
Great value for money. Lucky old birds then! Read full review...

Check size
Incorrectly described as 2kg. Company very helpful when I pointed out my costly error. Have used this Co for years no issues-mealworm are excellent. Price has rocketed recently but the product is exactly the same. Weird times even for mealworms. Read full review...
Great value for money!
I put some of these out every morning for my garden birds and they are cleared within an hour! They have attracted so many different types of wildlife birds,such as ring neck doves, robins, starlings, bullfinch, chaffinch, wood pigeon, sparrows and watching the newly fledged birds get fed by their parents, is an absolute pleasure!Read full review...

Excellent Quality Product at a Good Price
The mealworms arrived in good lightweight packaging that can easily be recycled. They tend to be an expensive bird food, but the Maltby's mealworm product is good value and is cheaper than many without loss of quality.
The birds certainly love them!
Highly recommended product and supplier.Read full review...

Brilliant Price
This is my 3rd order from Maltbys of these mealworms & every time I’ve bought from them I’m impressed with not only the product but the service, quality, quantity & packaging.
We like to feed the wild birds that come into our garden & they love these. We used to buy from another supplier but they always took an age getting to us & the actual amount never seemed to be quite right.
We put these down throughout the year especially in the winter (along with other food), we seem to have the same beautiful creatures coming back time after time (especially the robins, blackbirds & wagtails), it’s a real pleasure to watch them.
Can’t recommend Maltbys enough. Read full review...

Great product the birds love
Arrived quickly and the birds are certainly enjoying them. Only small issue was I was expecting two sealed plastic bags and it arrived in one woven type plastic sack. Does seal well and keep smell in when the top is rolled down and pegged so no problem.Read full review...

Always great quality
Good fare price for the amount you get. I weighed the bag and it was the correct advertised weight. I always do a "crush" test to check to see if the worms are stale , these always crush to dust so proves they're fresh. They always get eaten, never left by the birds. I empty the bag in to air tight containers and they last a good while. Would highly recommend :DRead full review...

Fantastic store. I’ve ordered a few bits of bird food over the past few months. The quality is fantastic, the birds are eating me out of house and home so the large quantities are a life saver. I also really appreciate how fast the delivery is so if you are running low you don’t need to wait long. Will be recommending to my parents as they get a lot of birds too. Fantastic.

Bird food
Hi, the birds love these worms so I can highly recommended these as the birds seem to know when we put them out as they just swarm all over the table to get at these, we also feed hedgehogs these as they also really enjoy them. It is just fantastic just watching the wild life in our garden and seeing the fledglings and hoglets feeding, I do highly recommend this product from a great retailer who gets these for delivery very quickly, as I ordered on a Saturday and they arrived on a Monday morning, fantastic 1st class service.
Will be ordering from this company again in the very near future for these items.
Thanks for all the advice and help that you gave.Read full review...

Quality feed
This is super quality feed. Every time I spread some around the garden the birds flock in, and seem to enjoy it. This last order was to replenish my supply, which I use all of the year. Not only over winter when food is scarce for wild birds, but fledging time is equally important too. Highly recommend for people who like to see wild birds in their garden!Read full review...

Fresh and very nourishing.
My hens love them, they are full of protein for them especially as they are moulting and growing new feathers which takes a lot out of them and demands high protein, these mealworms are just the ticket! Have bought them for a few years, always quick delivery.Read full review...
