Waxworms Size 15-25mm

Waxworms are the larvae of the waxmoth, specially treated with a completely natural process to inhibit pupation and aid storage. Waxworms are fed delicious nutrient such as honey and wheatgerm. Highly nutritious with soft skins, Waxworms are suitable for feeding to any lizard or insectivorous aviary bird or wild bird. Waxworms are a great 'snack food' for lizards. We say 'snack food' because waxworms are very high in fat content, and should be offered very sparingly. They have a light tan coloured, very soft body, with a tiny brown head. These worms are excellent feeder insects for malnourished animals. They should not be fed to baby lizards in quantity, and should only be offered a few times a week, and only one or two at a time.
