Frequently Asked Questions

Should I soak dried mealworms before feeding?
Soaking is optional but recommended in spring when fledglings are being fed. Soaking in warm water for 20–30 minutes rehydrates the mealworms, making them softer and easier for young birds to swallow. Adult birds will readily eat dry mealworms.
