Waxworms as Reptile Food
Our waxworms are a great treat in a reptile or amphibians diet. They are very high in high in fat and make a hearty treat so we would recommend them once maybe twice a week in addition to the main insect diet. Our waxworms are dispatched direct from the breeder and will be gut loaded before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival.
Waxworms are the perfect size for juvenile dragons, leopard geckos,crested geckos, larger tarantulas, juvenile basilisks and some larger frogs like horned frogs.
This product will be delivered in a plastic container including a bran substrate. Small airholes perforate the side at regular intervals to provide maximum ventilation with minimal chance of escape. Also included is an eggbox to provide additional surface area for worms to stand on. Sometimes bran may be included, the bran provides some cover and insulation in transit whilst also being a basic food for the worms. During the summer months the outer cardboard box may also include perforations to keep them cool while in colder months we may include a plain white heatpack.
You'll love them because:
- We guarantee freshness or your money back
- They are farm bred in ethical conditions.
- They are pre-fed to ensure your reptile is getting a healthy and nutritious meal.
- Delivered straight to your door in good time.
We recommend waxworms for the following animal types:
- Leopard geckos
- Juvenile dragons
- Horned frogs
- Basilisks
- Turtles
If you want to keep the waxworms as nutritious as possible we would recommend you continue to feed them on a nutritious vegetable diet or with insect foods. For more information on the diet please consult our livefood caresheet.
