Title: Source for wax worms near Bozeman
Post by: FishDr88 on Jan 25, 2022, 03:28 PM
Hi All - new member here.  I'm trying to find a source for wax worms near Bozeman.  I found some at Petsmart but the quality isn't the greatest.  Anyone know where I can pick some up? I've found mealworms at several places but no wax worms.  Thanks for any help.

I've found them at Walmart sometimes and the pet stores like you said.  Other than that it's all meal worms and maggots around bozeman. I've thought about mail ordering a big quantity to have on hand but I haven't yet.

I second Apfickes, Walmart is the only place I have seen live ones in Bozeman.

Thanks - I'll check Walmart.  I stopped at Petsmart this week and they had some.  None in the little refrigerator of live food but I asked and they brought out some from the back.  They were in good shape and looked fresh.  Pryor Creek in Laurel shows that they carry them but I don't get over there.  Their price is the same as Petsmart.

If you decide to buy from the internet try "Best Bait" their bait is the best and shipping is fast and free. Their maggots are fat and healthier than any I've ever bought.

I use JADA BAIT, fat, healthy, bait with free shipping and a little cheaper
