How often can waxworms be offered?
Waxworms are naturally high in fat, so they should only be offered as rare treats, never as a regular feeder. If you’re looking for a staple feeder, we recommend dubia roaches and NutriGrubs instead.
Always dust waxworms lightly with calcium powder before offering, as they have a high phosphorus content.
How to care for waxworms:
Waxworms last up to two weeks at room temperature. However, to make them last up to 4 weeks, you can keep them cooler between 50-60 degrees. The best way to do this is with a wine cooler and low humidity. Do not cool waxworms past 50°F.
Remove any blackened dead worms and cocoons daily. If the bedding feels moist when they arrive, take the lid off for a while to let them dry out.

I’ve been ordering for at least 6 months now and have never had an issue. My leopard geckos love their bugs. They always arrive well packaged and alive. Thank you

I'm so glad I learned about this website. I'm raising a little sparrow who loves wax worms and learning bait shops fill their worms with chemicals. Dubia worms are the best for my little baby. They come healthy and fresh. He hops right in the container when I get them out of the refrigerator.

Arrived in great condition and I would say there were just a few out of my cup that didn’t make it. For what I can get them locally I definitely recommend ordering some! My gecko was very happy! :)
