Mealworms

[Syntdea]

I got a bunch of dried mealworms and YANA loves them. I was wondering how many I can give a 5 month old Eastern Grey Squirrel and how often? Or if I shouldn't be giving them to him could you please explain why?

Nope, mealworms are good for him! Where did you find dried mealworms though? I have been having to give my flyer live superworms and I HATE them (however, he LOVES them). If your grey likes them, then feed away!

Lowe's in my area now carries freeze dried meal worms in the bird seed department.

I got them at a store that sold stuff for wild birds. Apparently you are supposed to feed the outdoor birds.

I'm glad you asked that. I didn't know I was supposed to offer Stormy Lee any worms or meat at all, since she isn't a Flyer. I don't know where I would find any mealworms around here, though. Dried or live! Maybe Tractor supply in their bird section. I'll look next time I go in.

You can probably order them online. They are very light so it shouldn't cost that much in shipping.

i would think that meat/meal worms etc... are an important part of all squirrels diet .... they eat baby birds, moths, frogs etc...

i think even ground squirrels eat some meat.... worms etc....

glad she eats dried meal worms ... many want the real live kind ...
