Dried Mealworms

[neily]

Is the dried Mealworms marketed towards wild birds suitable for hamsters?

I waas unsure about this as I could only find ones for wild birds, but pet shop said they are fine and all three of my hammies love them, no problems with poo or anything so far.

I didn't even know you could feed them mealworms!! To be honest I'm a bit reluctant to buy some as they'll gross me out!

My two don't like them but my nieces Robos go mental for them!

I think a dried mealworm is a dried mealworm, regardless of whether it says they're for birds or not. Hammies like mealworms and most of the humans I know like 'em dried. If you give them to a hammy alive, you have to crush the worms head before giving it to hammy since the worms can bite the hammy. Soooooo, for me...it's dried all the way.

Thanks all, I know both my hamsters love mealworms, so I think I'll buy a pack

In shops around here we find the dried ones in little jars in the reptile/amphibian section (or you can ask employees for live ones, if you like).

Flower liked them (dried), but Carmelita ignores them.

My local p@h don't have any live or dried. But B and M sell them, but for wild birds.

you can get them from asda and sainsburys in the bird food section
