Cheapest bulk live mealworms

[Seatrout00]

I am going to start a mealworm colony again - I have raised them for reptiles for years, now will do so for chickens. Just curious about pricing - I haven't purchased them in years and wonder who has the best prices. I am probably going to purchase 5,000 to 10,000 or so. Will have four to five hens in my flock and this will be the start up population that I will breed and feed.

I'd google it.
The big pet sites have bulk worms but unless I searched it, I wouldn't know who has the cheapest.

rainbowmealworms.net 5,000 for $20 - 10,000 for $37

Thank you - will look into these places. That does seem rather high but then again, its been a while since I purchased mealies.

It would seem that Rainbow Mealworms are even better priced than those listed here - seems like a good source, unless their shipping is insane.

Oops. On rainbow farms i put the price for giant meal worms and not normal meal worms! Yes they are the cheapest though, for priority 3 day shipping it should be $10-15
