The biggest bag of dried mealworms we sell
★ 4.9 out of 5 across 260+ product reviews of our dried mealworms on Reviews.io
3.4kg of dried mealworms, roughly 96,000 of them, packed as four separate 850g bags.
They've come from the same supplier for over ten years. There’s nothing in the bags but dried mealworms. We don’t sell a 5kg or 10kg; this is the top of the range, and anything beyond it is a wholesale conversation.
What’s in the box
Four 850g bags, each one sealed. We pack it as four bags rather than one sack so only one is ever open; the other three sit sealed until you get to them. Inside is dried mealworms and only dried mealworms: no preservatives, no additives, no coating. The mealworms are raised on a vegetarian, GMO-free diet and dried straight after harvest.

How our customers use them
Mealworms are a treat alongside a good layer feed, and a handful a day for the flock is how most people do it. Across our mealworm reviews, the same things come up:
- The standing order. “This product has been a repeat order on many occasions. The chooks love it.” — Christine, review of the 850g
- The greeting. “they see me with the packet and they start jumping and flapping up trying to get them before I have even opened the packet.” — Julie, store review, 2025
- Making friends. “I have used them to bond with my chooks and they think I am the ducks nuts” — Sarah, store review, 2026
- Hot days. “I freeze them in water on hot days for a cool treat.” — Leah, store review, 2023
Young or fussy birds sometimes need a moment to work out what they are. Hand-feed a few, or soak a handful in warm water first. Once one tries it, the rest follow.
Not just for chickens
Ducks and geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, peafowl, pheasants, quail, wild birds, reptiles, turtles and pond fish all eat dried mealworms, and the four-bag size suits anyone feeding more than one kind of animal. “my maggies love them” is a real review.
Six sizes, same mealworms
From an 80g packet to this 3.4kg, it’s the same mealworms in every bag. The 1.7kg, 2.55kg and 3.4kg are two, three or four 850g bags sold together, still sealed. “Excellent value with the large bags of dried meal worms, as opposed to the small packs sold in pet shops.” — Sandra, store review, 2025.
What people usually add to the order
The three things most often in the same box as a bag of mealworms: shell grit for the laying hens, apple cider vinegar with garlic for the drinker, and the 25ml Mega Mineral. They travel in the same parcel.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions people actually search for about big bags of dried mealworms.
Do you sell dried mealworms in 5kg or 10kg bags?
No. This 3.4kg, four sealed 850g bags, is the biggest size we sell. We pack it as four bags rather than one sack so the mealworms you haven’t got to yet stay sealed. If you need more than 3.4kg at a time, or you run a store or farm-supplies business, get in touch about wholesale and we’ll work out what’s possible.
Why is 3.4kg of dried mealworms packed as four 850g bags instead of one?
Freshness, mainly. One bag is open at a time and the other three stay factory-sealed, rather than a single big bag being opened and closed every day. Four 850g bags also fit in a normal kitchen or laundry cupboard, which one 3.4kg sack wouldn’t.
How do I store unopened bags of dried mealworms?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep the unopened bags sealed and reseal the open one after each use.
Is there a best-before date on the bag?
No. We don’t print one. Dried mealworms are dried straight after harvest with nothing added, which is why they keep without refrigeration. Keep the unopened bags sealed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, reseal the open one after each use, and use them within 12 months of purchase. If a bag arrives and something doesn’t look right, contact us and we’ll sort it.
How many mealworms are in the 3.4kg?
About 96,000 mealworms across the four bags, roughly 24,000 per 850g bag or 28 per gram. The count varies a little because they’re a natural product. High in protein and fat, which is why they’re a treat alongside a complete layer feed rather than a replacement for it.
Is the 3.4kg the cheapest way to buy your dried mealworms?
Per kilo, yes: the price per kilo drops as the bag gets bigger, and this is the biggest bag we make. Current prices for all six sizes are on the dried mealworms page. It's the same mealworms whichever size you pick.
How much is shipping on the 3.4kg of dried mealworms?
Delivery estimates for your postcode are on the Shipping tab, and our free-shipping threshold is shown in the cart.
How many dried mealworms should I give my chickens a day?
There’s no set dose. A small handful for the flock, once a day, is how most people do it: scattered on the ground so every bird gets a share, or from your hand if you’re taming them. They’re a treat alongside a complete layer feed, and a bigger bag doesn’t change the size of the handful.
Can ducks, wild birds, reptiles and fish eat dried mealworms?
Yes. Dried mealworms are a natural food for ducks and geese, turkeys, quail, guinea fowl, peafowl, pheasants, wild birds, lizards, turtles and pond fish, and the four-bag size suits people feeding more than one kind of animal. There’s nothing added, so it’s the same product whatever you’re feeding.
Where do you ship dried mealworms from, and how fast?
From our warehouse in Townsville, North Queensland, to every Australian state and territory. Most orders arrive within two to seven business days depending on where you are. Delivery estimates are on the Shipping tab.
