FAQ

What are dried mealworms?


Dried mealworms are high-protein, nutrient-rich insects that have been dehydrated for long shelf life. They’re a popular treat and feed supplement for chickens, wild birds, reptiles, fish, and even some small pets.

What are dried black soldier fly larvae (BSFL)?


Black soldier fly larvae are a sustainable, protein-packed insect rich in calcium, amino acids, and essential nutrients. Once dried, they serve as a highly nutritious treat for chickens, birds, reptiles, and more.

Which is better: mealworms or black soldier fly larvae?


Both are excellent sources of protein, but BSFL have higher calcium levels, making them ideal for laying hens and bone health. Mealworms are slightly higher in fat and protein, often preferred for rapid energy boosts. Many farmers and pet owners choose to offer both for a balanced diet.

Are dried insects safe for chickens and wild birds?


Yes, dried mealworms and BSFL are safe, natural treats. They’re 100% digestible and help support egg production, healthy feathers, and immune health. Always source from reputable brands to ensure quality and cleanliness.

How often should I feed dried insects to my flock or birds?


They should be used as a supplemental treat—not a primary food source. A handful per day for chickens or a few pinches for wild birds is sufficient. You can also mix them with scratch grains or layer feed for variety.

Are your dried mealworms and BSFL 100% natural?


Yes! At Premium Feeders, we offer 100% natural, non-GMO dried mealworms and BSFL, with no added preservatives or artificial ingredients. They’re gently dried to lock in nutrition and extend shelf life.

Why is calcium important in black soldier fly larvae?


Black soldier fly larvae are naturally rich in calcium, which supports strong eggshells in laying hens and bone development in all animals. This makes BSFL a great addition to any poultry feeding program.

Can I use dried mealworms or BSFL for reptiles or fish?


Absolutely. Both insects are ideal protein sources for reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Just be sure to choose the right size and portion based on your animal’s dietary needs.

How should I store dried insects after opening?


Store dried mealworms and BSFL in a cool, dry place in a sealed container. Keeping them out of humidity will preserve freshness and crunchiness.

Where can I buy bulk dried mealworms or black soldier fly larvae in Canada?
