Mealworms, though crunchy, make birds and reptiles go absolutely bananas! Just think: big fat beaks and curious tongues doing the tango. But before they get to it, we have to embark on this great adventure — Premium Feeders storage, that is. You see, mealworms, even dead, still know how to crash a party. So, the trick is in storing them like gold. Place them in airtight containers-think of these as vaults for your crunchy currency. Store in some cool, shadowy lair called a cupboard or maybe even a fridge. 

Now, don’t let their dry demeanor fool you. Once upon a time, these little critters were wigging with energy, and now-alas-they have one job in life: to feed. Birds and reptiles dig them like kids love candy. Begin with the allure of moderation. Sprinkle a teensy amount as a snack or treat aside from their regular chow. Think of it as movie popcorn, not the whole movie. You wouldn’t want your bird or reptile growing round as a snowman, would you?

In the jungles-or backyards-where birds rule the roost, mealworms are dried and envied like the Wi-Fi password. When the sun is out, and there are worms for lunch, audiences of robins, nuthatches, and even jays appear. But here is a quirk: let the compatibility of this work with your resident feather connoisseurs. Some birds have posh palates; others will eat just about anything.

As for your scaly buddies, the bearded dragons, geckos, and other reptilian royalties may want a surprise crunch. But variety is king. Mix mealworms with fresh veggies or fruits on their platter. Like everybody else, they love a chef’s mix!

Ever thought mealworms could become detectives? Well, if they’re tossed in a glass of water, that’s just what they become-nutritional detectives. If they float, like an undersea spy that hasn’t had his morning coffee, perhaps their mojo isn’t quite right. Sinking? Pack on that confidence and chow down.
