Waxworms

Wax worms are the larva form of the Wax Moth. They are a small, white, grubby, fatty worm with moderate levels of protein. Wax worms can be kept in the fridge for longer keeping but do not put in the back of the fridge where it can be too cold.

Wax worms are commonly known to be a favourite amongst leopard geckos but are also a good food source for any insect eating reptile, bird, or fish.

Wax worms are the perfect treat for your reptile or amphibian pet. A great source of lipids, wax worms are a fantastic way to fatten up your pet or put some weight on a female after laying eggs or giving birth. Wax worms are like junk food for your reptile or amphibian – feed sparingly.

How to Feed

Wax worms are a perfect feeder insect treat for: bearded dragons, crested geckos, leopard geckos, fat tail geckos, tree frogs, turtles, day geckos, and other small to medium sized lizards or turtles. Feed waxworms as a treat to your pets. Waxworms are very high in fat and make great treats, but should not be used as a staple diet. Sift waxworms from their bedding and feed them to your pet using feeding tongs or a bowl.
