Waxworms are the larval stage of the Greater Wax Moth (Galleria mellonella). These soft-bodied grubs make excellent treats for reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Due to their natural ly high fat content, waxworms should only be given as treats, never 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.

They can be kept cool at 50-60 degrees, where they become dormant and will last up to 4 weeks. Do not cool waxworms past 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, take the lid off for a while to let them dry out.
