Raising Wax Worms Update

[WTN4ICE]

Woke up to three moths in the jar. If each one can lay up to a thousand eggs that should be plenty for the season...unless I win the powerball,retire and fish everyday !!!! There are several more in the cocoon stage that may produce a moth also.

I got a mini fridge off the list and have the temp set about 48 degrees for sotrage as the kitchen one is too cold.

Any ideas where to get the wood chips they come in from the bait shops ??

pet store should have what you are looking for.

Now ya just gotta figure out how to dye them red;) How long does it take to go from pupae to maggot?

A maggot is not a wax worm.

48 degrees is too cold to raise them in a jar, need 90-95 degrees.

Go to the original raising wax worm post, there is some info you can use that will help you.
