Help with waxworms

ez2animate · Jul 2, 2009

So i recieved this coupon to recieve 50 waxworms free. Ive never had waxworms before so could someone help me? How do i keep them and how often and how much should i feed to my leopard gecko? thnx in advance.

They shouldn't be fed as the staple food. They are like junkfood to the leos..
Only once every 2 weeks or so if you decide to feed.
Idk how to keep em since I've never had em.

Yeah, i know they are a treat. How do i keep them? Like mealworms in the fridge? Oh, and do i feed my leo mealworms with waxworms?

You can't freeze waxworms because they'll die and you can't really gut load them because I believe (don't quote me on this) they only eat things with a certain sugars in it. So leave them in what ever they're in and keep that at room temp and hope they last long enough.

Im going to put them in the fridge, not freezer.

sorry if I confused I didn't mean freeze

... Waxies to my understanding can't be cooled in the fridge like mealworms or they'll die.
