Yeah waxsworms are only ment to be as a treat like once a week thing superworms and mealworms crickets are going to be best for your leo and I give my one girl superworms she loves them and no they do not eat thru your leo's tummy you will be okay with them and maybe you might want to try silkworms if you can find a company that is close to your home state those are good for them too I will be geting some soon when I don't know lol.

Aren't Supers just a bigger meal worm? Are they the same just 1 is smaller? & Supers seem like they are not eating. I have a lot die, & then all the liv ones start eating the dead ones & not the cat food, potatoes & carrots I put in for them. & I only have one leo right now, but I will soon have 2, & the lowest amount of worms I can order is 50. Even having 50 worms & 1 leo, a lot of the worms die & I dont get my money's worth outta them, gerr. This being the case I am scared to buy 2 different feeders for fear of most of them dying & not getting used as food. I wish I could order 20 supers & 20 of something else. Also, what do wax worms need as food & water?

Super worms (Zoophobas Morio) are a different type of insect from meal worms(Tenebrio molitor aka a Darkling Beetle). What kind of substrate are you keeping them in?

Wax worms do not need to be fed or watered if kept in the fridge since they go into hibernation.

I keep them on oatmeal. Today I added carrots, potatoes, cat food, & I thought I'd try lemon, they dont eat or want any of it

 

[Riyo]

Don't give them lemon or any citrus meat, just the peels. It's way too acidic for them

But they are not eating anything I put in with them.
