But it's kind of gross keeping them in the fridge if you buy a week's worth. They put them into plastic tubs, kind of like the ones margarine comes in, in a wood shavings mixture. You can dump some of the mix which will contain mealworms in a dish for the birds. I buy them for our bluebirds and they really love the wiggly things.

Robins are not seed eaters. The ones in my yard seem to prefer earthworms. Arkansas Granny Apr 2020 #1
