Where's a good place to buy mealworms?

[nolagurl]

I just bought a hedgehog and I need to purchase insects to feed it.

I figured one of you lizard people would know of a good place to buy mealworms, etc...

I found Fluker's brand on a hedgehog website. $7.95 USD for 1.4oz (about a cup). Is that a good price? Expensive?

The only thing I ever have to buy is rats :p as I'm a snake person.

hmmm you should see if you could find a smaller amount. mealies are just a treat for hedgehogs and they should only get 5 or 6 a week and they like them alive. I just buy a small pack at the bait shop for mine and keep it in the fridge.

Funny...the breeder said all of her hedgies eat them freeze dried. Some are even scared of the live ones. lol

I used to buy mine at http://www.expresscrickets.com/ before i started breeding them myself. The only downside for you is that you buy them in the 1000's, so that may not be a good choice for you. Another site i hear people ordering them from is wormman.com , i haven't ordered through them before.

well if it east freeze dried thats great. Mine wont touch them unless they are live...same with any other type of bug.

well your not going to be feeding it that many so just buy some freeze dried ones from a petstore. It will last you quite a while.
