Title: Growing Wax Worms?
Post by: gillsRus on Nov 22, 2022, 11:02 AM

Hello,
Going to try growing my own waxworms this winter.  From what I have read, if you feed them and keep them at ~80 degrees, the moths will emerge and start laying eggs within a few weeks.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I've always heard that they are a pain in the butt to raise. Best of luck with it!
