Once again I am having trouble finding mealworms.

Could someone please tell me where they are getting theirs right now.

Flukers only has the medium size and Grubco has none either....

Thanks ,

Donna

cant help you with where to find them Donna. maybe you could try breeding your own, very easy to do and if you ever have to many very easy to sell or swap at bird marts

Donna, I have used www.nyworms.com/. They do a flat rate for shipping, which is included in their price, and they are higher than most others, but they have the mini mealworms.

I have also used www.rainbowmealworms.net/ in the past.

Is Fluker's still sending their mealworms in a box with mesh for ventilation? I used to use Fluker's because they are closest to me, but after several shipments arrived with mealworms crawling out of the box, I decided to try someone else. I like the companies that use a fabric sack, so never have escapees!

Sally, the last time I used Flukers they came in a can..... it had holes in the top and was packed with newspaper.

But they don't have any at the time. I am going to try these you suggested, thanks for the links.

I haven't ordered from them for awhile but I did at one time,and they both were OK.
Did you call grubco I dint think the website will take orders for mealworms,I ordered mealworms on Friday to be shipped first of the week.I sure am glad I haven't had trouble getting them I think its because I ordered every month and this is about 7mos. since I had A problem But at one time they weren't taking on any new customers

A little pricey is better than not haveing them when you need them.
