who has mealworms

[Tommy13b]

Yep ebay is a good seller of them, 1000 cost about $15.

Come to the UK.

Mealworm galore...

I guess it was a good idea that I told you about ebay...

I don't have experience with this but it may be worthwhile to check out buying some silk worms and silk worm eggs. (It's more cost effective if you have a mulberry tree growing nearby).

I ran out of mealworms and had to get crickets :main_thumbsdown: I normally go through about 5,000 - 6,000 mealies a week...this sucks

Only one Canadian supplyer is experiencing this shortage. They bought theres from Sunshine. All the others are doing fine. Fortuently I breed all my feeders.

You can always go on ebay, and search for meal worms. They always have tons for sale.

Not a ton right now... ebay mealworm listings (not mine)

I usually have several pages of listings linked off my site, now what you see is all that's really available...

This bird website seems to still have them - but they are pricey!

p.s. Places that cater to birds , and sugar-gliders still seem to have them.

Well, I have given up and ordered crickets for this week. Bummer.

I talked with Sunshine today and according to them it is a grain problem but for those breeders that were using the east coast grain suppliers. Sunshine uses a west coast supplier so this is probably not affecting them. What did though was the demand of orders they received for mealworms. She said they are growing their worms now for breeding. So hopefully by July they'll have a good supply.

I too am almost out of mealworms with many hungry mouths to feed. Luckily I have a good size superworm colony going (hopefully they all like them) but it's only going to last a couple weeks.

Ditto. I ordered Supers for the adult breeders and crickets for the hatchlings. I hope this ends real soon as I don't want the hatchlings getting addicted or used to those crickets. They are such a pain.
