## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much do the mealworms weigh without the tub**
A: No idea - but 5 litres is not that much.  Just think of 5 litre bottles of milk.  Next time I buy mealworms I will buy 35 litres, which is really good value.

**Q: do they have a use by date ?**
A: They do have a date but it should have at least 18 months left on them when received.

**Q: What is the weight of 5 litres?**
A: Including the tub it's around 1KG. So a estimated guess of the product would be around 500 / 600 grams

**Q: The tub arrived damaged/split and lid broken so meal worms everywhere. I'm trying to contact the seller**
A: I must admit I decanted mine into a different bucket as the top of the container had a slight split under the lid, but I didn't contact the seller, as they weren't damaged and I was so impressed with the size and quality I will buy them again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dried Mealworms... Not just for the birds!
*by L***U on 22 April 2020*

I purchased these to put into 1 of garden bird feeders, I only have a small garden but I have 8 feeders out there now with a variety of different foods to give the birds a choice of what they like & wanted to see how well these went down!. I will be 100% honest in that I was a little dissapointed in the size of the tub, For the cost of these I did expect it to be bigger but the birds really did love them & they emptied a whole feeder in just 1 day!. The 2nd time I used these I put them into a feeder that I usually put suet pellets in & for some strange reason a blackbird that is a very regular visitor (along with his wife!) Decided that whilst he did enjoy eating these that inbetween eating he was going to spit the dried melworms all over the floor! It wasn't just the odd 1 or 2 it was over half of the feeder contents!. I wasn't impressedd with him & I did tell him off but I figured that the next morning the smaller birds that always come in to feed would come along & eat them up off of the floor however I was in for a little surprise later that evening!..... Once it had turned dark a small but very handsome young hedgehog came in & scoffed up the whole lot from the floor! Despite knowing that hedgehogs are great lovers of bugs I'd never expected them to like dried mealworms! & the little hog obviously loved them!. It totally made my day that not only had the birds loved these but the hedgehog had too!. I put what was left from my little tub of mealworms into my hedgehog house for the hedgehog to eat when he next came back & to say sorry to Mr Blackbird for telling him off for throwing the mealworms all over my garden path i gave him some (Non salted) bacon rind the next morning as an extra special treat!. I'll deffinatley be buying meal worms again for both the birds & the hogs, I just sadly won't be ale to use them too often because of the price.
