Mine are kept in the fridge for 3 to 6 months.Some birds eat them some wont touch them.

Some of my birds won't even look at them but they see me coming with white ants they nearly tear the avairy down to get to them. I breed my own meal worms, easy to do and a cheep source of food.

maggots are also very easy to breed. i feed them to the birds at about 5mm in length, the birds love them

Hey Mick do you find the birds go for the magots more then the meal worms

[Mickp]

my gouldians prefer maggots over mealworm. the rest of the birds dont seem to care, they eat any live food that is available. every few days I trap some moths and the let them out in the aviary, the red billed firefinches go crazy trying to catch them.
wish I could get hold of termites to feed them though. from what I have been told termites are the best livefood there is.

Years ago when i lived in north QLD i had axcess to termites and the birds would not stop breeding even the lorries were eating them.
