Wax worms (Galleria mellonella) 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. Josh's Frogs offers waxworms in 25 count, 50 count, 250 count, and 1000 count cups.

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.

How to Store

When Josh's Frogs ships waxworms they are already stored on aspen bedding without food - exactly how you want to keep them. Keep waxworms in the fridge to prolong their lifespan. As waxworms go bad, they will become dark in color and eventually turn black and spoil. Discard any black waxworms. Under ideal conditions, waxworms should keep for several weeks.
