    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.
