[stephen]

Hello y;all, my first thread ,yeeehaaw!!! anyway enough of that. wondering about gut loading wax worms. Dude at the pet store (a good one) did'nt have a clue. I have a bunch of these and it doesnt seem right to not feed them somehow.I have cricket gutload, mulberry mulch and all sorts of fruit and veg.Any ideas?

My diet for waxworms is:

Honey Bunches of Oats or Honey Nut Cheerios crushed up.
Keep the worms at room temperature in 1 to 2 inches of the cereal with a drop or two of raw honey.
Waxworms occur naturally in beehives eating the honeycomb.
Remember they are high in fat and should be utilized as a treat only.
They are like juicy little honey-sweetened candies!
