Waxworm Supplements and Substrate
Important steps to feeding off waxworms include “Dusting” or covering them with a thin layer of calcium powder. This provides your reptile with proper calcium levels to support healthy bones and prevent MBD.
Multivitamins and D3 calcium can also be dusted but it is important to first understand the amount and frequency that your specific reptile needs.

Feeding Waxworms to Reptiles
Waxworms are a popular feeder insect for Bearded dragons, Chameleons, and a wide range of Geckos. Waxworms make an excellent supplemental food source for reptiles in general. Their soft, slow-moving bodies wiggle around attracting all types of predators, even birds!
How to Care for Waxworms
A relatively easy species to care for can be kept in a cool dark area around 55 degrees. We recommend keeping waxworms in the refrigerator door, which tend to be slightly warmer than the shelves, keeping them higher is better since cold air sinks. You don’t need to feed the waxworms before they are fed to your animals. They arrive healthy and thick.
Waxworms in the Wild
Waxworms get their name from the love of beeswax and honey. The Wax moth females will lay their eggs inside of beehives. As the larva develop they consume the honeycomb.
Having a diet high in sugars is what makes this feeder insect a great source of fat and healthy calories for your reptiles.
