If the bedding feels moist when they arrive, leave the lids off to let them dry out.ĭaily remove any dead worms (they will be black) and remove the cocoons of any that are spinning one. They are ideally kept in a wine cooler, butter tray in the refrigerator, or in a cellar. They can be kept cool at 60 degrees, where they become dormant and will last up to 8 weeks - but must not be any colder than 55°. Waxworms will last one to two weeks at room temperature. Let the waxworms pupate into moths for a treat that will make your reptiles go crazy! They love to chase them. Great place to live year round or visit for a few days. Reptiles and birds alike devour the creamy fat bodied worms and the people that feed them love how digestible they are.įishermen use them for ice fishing, pan fish, perch, bass, and catfish. Currently bluegills are hitting well on red worms, wax worms and crickets. Waxworms are a soft, juicy, and plump treat that animals just love (we call them the vanilla cake of feeders). Each worm will end up with very different looking legs this way which definitely adds to the final illusion.For live delivery guarantee: if your temps are below 55° or over 85° the "Hold for Pickup" button must be checked above! If you're concerned the legs are odd shapes and won't look natural just set them aside and cut out a few more until you have a set that's more or less symmetrical. This is where you can choose what pose you'd like it to be in, I recommend a selection of poses for best results.įocus mainly on making sure the legs attach well.
Once you have six (three pairs) start gluing them to your fake waxworm body starting just behind its head. The trick is to not get hung up on if they don't look how you'd prefer, whether they're little sticks, little triangles, or little chunks they will look good once assembled together. The legs will seem intimidating at first as you start with them, they're small and the instinct is to make them as small and as thin as you can. Glue one of the flat sides of your worms new head to the flat end you made on the body earlier. For the waxworms head you're going to want a short cylinder, make it as close to a circle as you can but if its lopsided or not flat don't worry, this will add some variation to your little bugs and make them look that much more natural in a group.
