Waxworms
362
Waxworms are the larval stage of the Greater Wax Moth (Galleria mellonella). These soft-bodied larvae make excellent treats for reptiles, amphibians, and birds.
Due to their naturally high-fat content, waxworms should only be given as treats, never as a staple feeder. If you’re looking for a staple feeder, we recommend dubia roaches and NutriGrubs instead. Waxworms should always be lightly dusted with calcium powder prior to feeding.
-----
Waxworms will last up to two weeks at room temperature. They can be kept cool at 50-60 degrees, where they become dormant and will last up to 4 weeks. Do not cool waxworms past 50°F.
They are ideally kept in a wine cooler and must be stored at low humidity. If the bedding feels moist when they arrive, take the lid off for a while to let them dry out.
Remove any blackened dead worms and cocoons daily.

Lorain, OhioI have never had an issue ordering from here and when I did have a problem with the bugs, not the order itself, they made it right immediately. I won’t go anywhere else for my insect needs
Fairfax, Virginia Irwin, PennsylvaniaThe dubiaroaches.com team is amazing! They offer a great selection of feeders at an unbeatable price. I got my order on time and they threw in a couple little Freebies as well. I was missing my nutrigrubs but their customer service department was on top of things and they sent me out what was missing right away! I just got the nutrigrubs today and I just say they don’t skimp on anything. If you order a certain amount of anything expect that and then some. Thanks dubiaroaches.com!! Y’all have new customer for life!
United StatesThe wax worms are great. They was all alive but maybe two. Still have some and some that’s changed to next stage.
United States Durham, North CarolinaThe wax worms came safely packed in their container. I ordered 100 and there were less then 5 black ones in the group (dead). This company takes pride in shipping the best quality and live feeders.
