A family run business for over 115 years Beginning as a specialist retailer of bird seeds, we have expanded our product range over the years and now offer a comprehensive selection of animal feeds, wild bird foods, dog treats, garden supplies and fishing products. Maltbys' Stores is a pet and garden supplies retailer based in Hull, UK. Since opening in 1904, we have always aimed to provide our customers with the best quality products we can find. Now in our sixth family generation, we are still continuing to look for new ways to provide fantastic products to you and your pets. We know your animal's needs are very important, which is why we continue to work with our suppliers to find the freshest and best quality products available. At Maltbys' Stores we understand that feeding wild birds is a highly rewarding and entertaining pastime. What's more, with many of our treasured song and garden bird species now sadly in decline, feeding wild birds is more vital than ever in aiding conservation efforts. We work closely with our suppliers to find the best quality wild bird foods, to keep birds returning to your garden again and again. We also understand that different wild birds need different nutrition, so we sell a huge range of wild bird seeds and mixes to suit all avian dietary needs. As one of the biggest UK suppliers of wild bird foods, we receive deliveries on average every 3 weeks or less. This way we can provide you with the freshest possible product we can deliver, retaining the product's natural oils and nutrients and minimizing the potential for mould or toxins Mealworms are the dried larval form of the mealworm beetle, which means they are a fantastic food source for any birds or animals who would naturally have an insectivorous diet. As well as wild birds, they can be fed to most reptiles and fish, and can be used in fishing baits. Our mealworms are frozen and then roast-dried, meaning they maintain as many of their natural nutrients as possible. They are also 100% natural, with no added colours, flavours or preservatives. Many wild birds rely on the natural protein of insects to supplement their diet, keeping them healthy and helping them to maintain and repair muscle mass. Because dried mealworms give just the right type of protein birds need, they are a fantastically versatile feed for a huge range of wild bird species, including blackbirds, robins, bullfinches, greenfinches, starlings, dunnocks, tree sparrows, house sparrows, song thrushes, wrens and yellowhammers. Mealworms can be fed to wild birds all year round, either as a ground or table feed, or in mealworm feeders. They are particularly great for wild birds in winter, as the cold weather will likely have killed off most insect life. If you are using mealworms as a wild bird feed in the spring, we would recommend soaking them in lukewarm water for around 20-30 minutes beforehand. This makes them more attractive to the birds, and makes them softer and more palatable for smaller birds and fledglings. Product Description
