wax worms are like french fries to people. they arent healthy, so of course they taste good!! you should really be limiting her intake on them because they are full of fat...

limit to how much tho she just ate 3 quickly?

waxworms do best as a treat, id say no more than 1 a day, max. i dont use them at all unless im fattening up a rescue, so maybe another member can clarify how many would be a good limit for you.

I think their more fatty, but im sure there some nutrition in them, and you can dust them with cal.

Once a month would be the most I'd offer them (and actually, once a year is how often I actually offer them)

Little to no nutritional value. Just blobs of fat.

Better choices are butterworms and silkworms, because they can be gutloaded
