Super healthy wax worms are the best source of high fat content for all types of reptiles. Store at 55 degrees for a couple weeks, no food or water needed, they don't eat at this stage.
Feeding Instructions
Quantity: Start with small quantities and gradually increase depending on your pet’s health and dietary needs. Feed your pets 3-5 wax worms per feeding session.
Frequency: Feed wax worms to your reptile a few times per week as part of a varied diet. Wax worms should not be the sole item in your reptile's diet due to potential nutritional gaps. Include other feeder insects and appropriate food items to provide a balanced diet.
Preparation: Ensure the wax worms are at room temperature before feeding them to your reptile. This can make them more appealing and easier for your pet to digest.
Presentation: Use feeding tongs to pick up a wax worm and present it to your reptile. Wiggle the worm slightly to stimulate your reptile's feeding response. Ensure the wax worm is properly grasped by your reptile before releasing it.
Monitoring: Observe your reptile during and after feeding to ensure they consume the wax worms safely. Monitor their health and behavior closely, and adjust the quantity of wax worms as needed. Remove any uneaten wax worms to prevent them from spoiling and potentially causing health issues.
Habitat and Care
Habitat and Care
Housing: Store wax worms in a ventilated container without food, as they don’t need it for short-term storage. Use a wood shavings substrate to keep them dry.
Temperature: Keep wax worms at cool temperatures around 55°F-60°F to slow growth and prevent pupation.
Feeding: Wax worms don’t require feeding in short-term storage, but long-term storage may require bran or wheat germ.
Hydration: Wax worms don’t require hydration, as they can survive on stored nutrients.
