My reptiles love waxworms. I give these to them as a treat and to stimulate a feeding response in sickly reptiles. They are mainly just water and fat...not much nutrition in these guys. Not a good live staple feeder. But a good treat, dust them well with a calcium and vitamin supplement.

Pros: my reptiles love them

Cons: very fatty not much nitritional value

Many reptiles love waxworms. Infact they will always almost eat these before anything else. This is because they are high in fat content and are not very good for the reptile. They are good as a treat but not as a staple food. I would not recomment buying large quantities of these at a time because you won't use them all. Do NOT feed these to your reptiles all the time. They can become addicted to them and ignore all other types of food. I give them these maybe once a week.

Pros: Good treat for reptiles

Cons: Use only as a treat!!

My leopard gecko is a rescue. She was 3 when I got her, and the only food she will eat is waxworms. I dust them with calcium & vitamins. The problem is that all the pet stores put them in the refrigerator & they can't tolerate the low temperature. Thaw them out & you have warm dead waxworms. Petco, PetSmart -- they both do the same thing. Why??!! Very frustrating!

Pros: gecko loves them

Cons: low temps kill them

Great! For the same size ( length ) as some mealworms, they give alot more nutrience! Just started using them the other day. I thought he would be a little confused but he ate them right up with no troubles. He loves them.

Pros: Great use becasue of the national mealworm shortage

Cons: 4.57 for a pack of 50 at PETCO

Shouldn't be a staple diet. Reptile need a variety in their diet. Softbody so it is easy to digest. Great way to get a picky eater to eat. Keep your waxworms in the refrigerator, they do not need to be fed anything.

Pros: HIGH IN FAT

Cons: HIGH IN FAT
