Waxworm

Waxworms

Waxworms are a soft-bodied, high-fat feeder insect that makes an irresistible treat for many reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and invertebrates. Their soft texture and sweet flavour make them an excellent choice for picky eaters, animals recovering from illness, or pets that need to gain weight.

Because they are high in fat, waxworms should be offered as an occasional treat rather than a staple feeder.

Care Tips:

• Store in the refrigerator at 50–55°F (10–13°C) to slow development.
• Keep them in their original container with the provided bedding.
• Remove only the amount needed before feeding.
• Offer as an occasional treat due to their high fat content.
• Dust with calcium and vitamin supplements when feeding reptiles and amphibians.
