Waxworm

Waxworms – A Tasty, Energy-Rich Treat for Reptiles & Other Critters

Waxworms are a soft-bodied, highly palatable feeder insect that many reptiles, amphibians, birds, and small mammals absolutely love. They are packed with healthy fats and moderate protein, making them an excellent energy boost for underweight animals, picky eaters, or pets recovering from illness.

Their irresistible taste and easy-to-digest texture make waxworms ideal as a treat or as a way to entice reluctant feeders to start eating again. They are especially popular with species like geckos, bearded dragons, anoles, tree frogs, and certain fish.

While waxworms are nutritious, they are naturally high in fat and should be offered in moderation as part of a balanced diet. They can also be gut-loaded before feeding to further enhance their nutritional profile.

• Highly palatable, great for picky eaters
