OB's, Ruddies and Mealies?

[Finch_Breeder]

Just wondering if the normal sized mealworms are way to big for OB's and ruddies or are they ok?
Cheers, Mike

i think you'll find there too big.

Ruddies would have a go, but theyd be too big I think for OBs and ruddy chicks as well.

Thanks shox and Jay so would "mini mealworms" do? or something even smaller?

Maggots and termites are perfect. Ruddies go like stink on these! But some people seem to breed a few without live food.

I've seen both bred with no live food, not many chicks. A few bred more with small mealies, a few more chicks. Lots with maggots, lots of chicks and those with termites have them pouring out the ears
