Imagine that your dog is looking at you, with its big brown eyes and expecting to be treated. Do you want to treat them with something special? You’ve tried all the traditional options, but kibble has become a thing of the past. You may have heard of mealworms. They’re more than bait to use on a fishing trip. These little wrigglers make a delicious snack for pets. We’ll dive in to the world of Mealworms, your pets’ new favorite snack!
Mealworms contain a lot of protein. These tiny food powerhouses are perfect for birds, reptiles and hedgehogs. Have you ever noticed that birds sing sweeter after eating these crunchy creatures? Or reptiles seem to be a bit more active and lively afterwards? Like watching a child go after his favorite candy.
Before you rush to add mealworms in your food, take a moment to understand why these critters are so good for you. The protein bars of animals, but without the artificial additives! A pet needs a lot of protein to maintain their energy. A happier and more active dog is something that no one can resist.
You think they are difficult to maintain? You’re wrong! Storing mealworms, unlike some gourmet snacks, is as easy as pie. They can be bought either dried or alive, depending on your taste, and more importantly your pet’s. Dried mealworms–reminiscent of chips–can be stashed and stored for quite some time. While live mealworms can be wriggled away from a container, they are more likely to eat it. Give them somewhere cool to stay.
What is that noise? You can relax knowing that mealworms come from nature. They’re free of weird additives that you cannot pronounce. This is a natural food source pets crave. When was the last indulgence you had that didn’t make you feel guilty? The mealworm is the perfect bite for your pets.
When it comes to mealworms, there’s some humor. Have you ever offered one to an inexperienced pet owner? You’d be like someone telling you that your favorite ice-cream is garlic flavored. Once they witness the pet’s excitement they will come around. The fluttering of their wings or tails is all that pets can say.
During pet get-togethers (yes, they are real!) there is often a discussion about how to best treat our pets. Like swapping grandmother’s pie recipes for your pets. Someone will tell you, “Oh, I think mealworms are a great idea.” A room of skeptical people nods in unison.
It’s unlikely that your iguana will run across your living room in a miraculous marathon or sing eternal love songs from your quilted birdcage curtains. They certainly add a little sparkle to your daily meals. Who knew that a mealworm bag could bring happiness?
Keep feeding enjoyable and healthy. Every soft purr and cheerful chirp comes from a heart that is happy, fuelled by nutrition they never knew they needed. Consider this snack as your pet’s ticket to happiness if you love seeing them happy.
You may not realize it, but the answer to your pet’s happiness is right on your palm, waiting to leap for their stomach and your own peace of mind. Be adventurous. Let the magic of mealworms unfold in your home by experimenting with these little creatures.
