Unipeck of America's live Waxworm product is an excellent food
source for your wild birds. This high quality,
natural
food product is a special treat that birds love and our preservative-free
and additive-free live waxworms will help keep your birds healthy
as well. Great care has been taken in raising these live
waxworms to ensure an excellent, high quality nutritional and
dietetic food source for your birds.
Waxworms are the larval stage of the Greater Wax Moth (Galleria
mellonella). Waxworms are large, soft and easily digested
by wild birds.
Our beetles are on a strict diet of fresh cereal and
vegetables, so they are a safe food source for your
bluebirds and
other birds as well.
High levels of protein, fat, and moisture make our live waxworms an
excellent, juicy food for many birds, including all members of the
thrush family as well as dunnocks and blackcaps. These juicy
morsels will prove very popular. live waxworms are also
enjoyed by bluebirds as well as cardinals, orioles, robins,
thrushes, waxwings, blue jays, tanagers, titmice, warblers,
kinglets, and many other insect-eating birds as well.
Waxworms are a primary food choice of bluebirds and our
live waxworms are an all-natural, high protein, high energy
waxworm product that your bluebirds will love. In
addition, our live waxworms are an outstanding food source for
sugar gliders and a variety of other reptiles.
Waxworms can be offered from just about any bird feeder.
Most birds will eat waxworms right from a dish on the ground.
Live waxworms will keep for several weeks with proper storage
and instructions are included with every order. Live
waxworms also work well with tray feeders, platform bird
feeders, and even our
Supper Dome Feeder!
NOTE: Because of the hot weather in some parts of the country,
live waxworm orders may be delayed until weather permits. Overnight
shipping is available upon request, but please contact us first
so we can provide shipping cost information. In the meantime,
you may want to select some of our
DRIED Mealworms
To-Go or
Dried Roasted Waxworms. We apologize for this
inconvenience, but we want you and your birds to be happy with your
live waxworm order!
Many non-seed-eating songbirds are declining in number because
of the loss of breeding habitats and lack of food. By
offering live waxworms to insect-eating birds, you will help to
ensure their survival in the wild.
Here's a Hot Tip from your friends at Unipeck!!
Are
you frustrated with not being able to get your supplies of live
mealworms? Add a dash of cold press extra virgin olive oil
to dried mealworms for re-hydration and they look "life like!"
Also, the cold press olive oil is tasteless, has lots of
anti-oxidants, plus amino acids, and never goes rancid.
But more important, cold press extra virgin olive oil is
expelled (unlike Canola oil) from the host organism. NOTE:
Please allow time for the birds to adjust - it might take a day
or two.
