Wax worm gutload

[cushcameleon]

Can waxworms only gutload off of honey brain mixtures? Or can you also use fruits?

I read on here that they naturally feed in bee hives. I bought some bee pollen on ebay yesterday to feed my waxies and crickets. I've never bothered to gutload the waxies before though, so I don't know what else they'd eat.

Hi Tiff, it was me who said that about the waxworms - now you have me worried I am wrong! I'm not used to people listening to me!

I just use bee pollen in with mine, occasionally a sliver of apple has been in the box with them when I got them, but I have never seen them eat it. As they are a treat, I don't think we have to worry too much about them being gutloaded. Once they cocoon, they go in the cage so the moths hatch out and he has those as an option too.

I've read on more than one forum that wax worms cannot be gut loaded.
