I was wondering how much dried meal worms would be ok to feel flyers.. that is all they will eat worm wise.. and will not eat if alive.. but dried like candy..lol soo how many should I let them have with out over doing it?

I'm surprised they prefer the dried. Sure does save you a lot of time and mess.
I don't think freeze drying them really removes any nutrients, so, they can be fed regularly.
Every squirrels seems to have its own preference as to numbers.
As long as they get 4-5 a day, there should not be an issue.
Some may stop after only a couple. The little monsters pretty much dictate.
Piglet can do ten easy.
Bucky and Spanky normally eat 4-5. Same with the others.
I wish mine ate the dried ones.

C reminded me of something. Most of the dried ones we've seen, are pretty small.
Keeping that in mind, more would need to be fed.
