All my roaches are to big to feed my baby so I'm waiting on a shipment for next week. My local mom & pop pet store sells wax worms and I wanted to use them as a staple for a week. I have been using crickets but I hate them. I really did not want to order PW because it takes to long to get. Is this okay? I did it last month for a few days and I did not know they where only for treats. Kathy
They are really fatty worms.. but, I guess you know that now. I really wouldn't recommend using them that long. A lot of people have fed a lot of them to their beardies and then they have a dragon who refused to eat anything else after them.. No to mention, it would be like feeding them nothing but pure junk food for a week.
BTW, I know how the end of the week goes.. I have some crix, but my little girl has been chomping down on the pws. I placed an order last night for them, and they were shipped this morning. I am crossing my fingers that they make it by Friday.. otherwise it will be Monday. She won't be pleased with me!
I bought 25 wax worms from the last reptile show and was excited to let bruno have a try at them. He hungrily took one, started chomping and then got this horrible Y U C K O expression and tried with everything he had to spit it out. After he did he went into the corner to hide. It was rather amusing. I gave the wax worms to a friend for his turtles.
