Wax Worms ( 50 count )
Wax worms are a grub. These wax worms are lesser wax worms and they will web... (you can easily peel the web off them and feed. This is a normal process in growing them). They are 3/4" - 1" in size. These worms are basically used as a treat, to fatten a sick animal, or for a lizard that just laid eggs. They are considered a fat food. These worms are another worm you don't want to refrigerate as it shortens their lifespan. If you can't feed them to your animals right away, we suggest using a cool room (such as a basement or closet) to store them. This will give you a week, possibly 2 weeks. Our worms are only cold in this way, never refrigerated.
Note: For those of you purchasing our wax worms for the first time, our wax worms web. So you can easily peel them out of their food and if they do make a cocoon, you can also peel that open to release the wax worm. If you allow them to pupate into the moth, the moth is also edible.

CARE SHEET
Store worms between 55F - 60F. Most typical refrigerators are too cold to store them in. Instead, use a cool basement, garage floor, closet, or some other cooler place in your house to store them. Doing this will allow the worms to live for up to 2 weeks if kept at proper temperatures.Wax worms require little feeding and should NOT be refrigerated.When purchased, our worms will generally be a small to medium size. The worms will also sometimes spin webbing throughout the medium. Simply pick through and pull out the worms as needed. Once mature, some of the worms will move to the top of the container to pupate. If desired, you can allow the wax worm to pupate into a moth. This moth is also edible by your reptile.
