wax worms

[jack]

anybody feeding their fish live wax worms? im expecting some baby box turtles to hatch in september and i just started a wax worm colony to feed them. each moth can lay like 300 eggs so i know ill be overrun with worms. just wondering if my harlequin rasboras might eat young larvae.

I used to feed them to my leopard gecko on occasion... but she died after I moved to houston... x_X

Re: wax worms

sry to hear that. i was thinking as using them as a treat for my fish and turtles, not as a staple food for either. anyone think thats a bad idea?

I used to feed them to  my fire belly toads and large fish like oscars. I don't see why it would hurt them, plenty of people feed earthworms. Birds like them too.
