Live Waxworms for Reptiles, Amphibians & Birds
Waxworms are the larval stage of the Greater Wax Moth (Galleria mellonella). These soft-bodied grubs make excellent treats for reptiles, amphibians, birds, and other insect-eating animals.
Due to their naturally high fat content, waxworms should only be given as treats rather than as a staple feeder. If you're looking for a staple feeder, we recommend Dubia roaches and NutriGrubs instead.
Waxworms should always be lightly dusted with calcium powder prior to feeding.

Care Instructions:
Waxworms will last up to two weeks at room temperature. They can be kept cool at 50–60°F, where they become dormant and can last up to four weeks. Do not cool waxworms below 50°F.
They are ideally kept in a wine cooler and must be stored at low humidity. If the bedding feels moist when they arrive, remove the lid for a while to allow the bedding to dry out.
