Waxmoths!

[Kittiekins]

So I got some wax worms for my cham, and I forgot about them for maybe a week when my cham when on a hungry strike, And they have turned into moths!!!! I have so many now! I've started giving some to a friend so we can control the them haha. What is a good feed to give the moths and worms? Figured since I already have the moths why not make some babies!? Their gonna end up breeding anyways and it saves me money

Also, can they eat indian moths? We have a bit of a moth problem in our house right now, and of course its the dreaded Indian moth. Although my cats try to resolve the problem haha, can my cham help to? xP we haven't used any pesticides because the cats try to eat them.

Not sure about Indian moths but waxworms and there moths should never be a staple. Oncece or twice a month kis the max as they are like the Big Mac for reptiles because they are just pure fat so don't feed them often or else your chameleon may turn day other foods. So what im trying to say is breeding them won't really a good idea.

She's one be given two since I've had her in about a coming up to two month mark. Her normal diet is fruit flies, and about 2-3 small crickets. (She doesn't eat a lot and I was worried with how small she was but the vet told me not to worry to much) she hasn't eaten a moth yet, but watches them. Very closely. Haha. I feed her free range and she always looks like she's having fun with it!
And how could I stop them from breeding then? Or just lower the breeding. I got about 15-20months and my friend has the other half.

Keep the worms in the fridge and you won't have them breeding anymore.
