Not sure what kind of gentle waxworms you have there. I had a batch and was obligated to keep them in a glass tank with a metal screen top. They *chewed through* the sides of plastic tubs and plastic screen. They chewed through the lid of the cup I got them in overnight. That being said, I never had happier giant danio, anoles or house geckos than when I'd let them have a fat well-fed worm. One particularly cool thing I noticed was that they made their own heat as they nested in the bedding (I made artificial honeycomb with honey, bran and melted beeswax on crumpled wax paper). They were particularly difficult to separate out when they pupaed (you really left off how cobby and sticky their cocoons are and that they will somehow figure out how to put themselves right under the lid without exception, which is not a nice surprise)

This will actually come in handy, always looking to breed my own feeders, didn't even think about wax worms 👍🏻

This was the video i needed right now . I did make an attempt art a wax worm culture last year with no success don't think i kept them warm enough . Currently i have half a tub in the fridge slowly dieing but now i know what to do with them , so thank you .

Oh! I have to try this!

Didn't know about the bee, honey connection with wax worms! No wonder my crested geckos love them! Had one given to me a complete mess. Tiny guy was so severely emaciated. Several wax worms and premium powdered diet, tiny fragile thing is healthy looking now! 😊

Hi there, thanks for the Video. I bought myself a venus fly trap and was wondering what to feed them, saw a Video and people mentioned "Waxworms" so i bought myself some of those on Amazon . Obviously my little fly trap won't eat all those worms. I don't want to become a Waxworm breeder , but your advice was helpful. Greeting from Northern Ireland

Amazing as always

Yo! This kind of thing is popular on youtube buddy. Keep going.

FYI I've put the adult moths in the tank w my lizard, who loves to chase and eat them. He seems uninterested in the larval wax worms now, which he really used to love. He seems to prefer meal worms or crickets ATM.

How is the development of waxworms, is it producing large numbers of waxworms now?

I'm trying 3/4" holes covered with 1" wide paper tape. Cheap and easy to replace when it gets dirty.

Mantis, bell joke, Sabbath shirt. Subbed.

I live in Puerto Rico so they should turn to moths fast then

How long does it take for the wax worms to mature enough to feed them to pets?

nice and informative video upon rearing of wax moth.I need to know one thing that when larvae pupate, where pupae should be transferred or either they should be kept in the same box in order to get adult emergence. Moreover, after adult emergence, should the moths be kept in the same box and diet or they need to be transferred to other box and upon different diet. Thankyou!

Would old (hole-less) panty hose work for "screen"? I need something STAT

Hi buddy, at what point would you begin to change or replenish the honey/oats mix? I s it just a case of topping it up, or would it need periodic replacing?

Won't the wax worms get stuck to the honey?

❤ thanks for the info will it mould or do I have to re make substrate muthly

Is this a great way to feed mantids? I want to get back into keeping mantids, but don’t feel like continuously buying fly pupa

Can someone tell me how I can keep wax worms survive in the fridge door? I tried and worms died

I just bought some waxworms so I’m going to give it a try I suppose it doesn’t smell thanks

Is the 30 degrees a constant through all the cycles? I have pupa what temp is best? Is cheap honey ok?

Poriage oats? Is that the same as oatmeal?

yummy
