normally she will eat anywhere from 10 - 20 waxworms when i give them to her, it seems like alot, but normally they are fairly small, lately ive been getting larger ones (some of them nearls an inch long and quite plump) so she only gets about 7 of those.
i dont know how many times a day you feed squig, by miaka eats twice a day, once in the morning (about 7am, light having ben on for 2 hours) and once in the afternoon (4-5, depending when i get home from work) so in theory, she could eat as many as 40 waxworns in 1 day (though not very likely, and the waxies would have to be about this big --- or smaller)
i normally give her them once a week or once every other week, depending on how many i have,
feed them too often and they stop eating crix, and then youve got to stop feeding them all together until they accept crikets again (usually takes about a week and a half, give plenty of water)
I love waxies because they seem to hold almsot indefinatly when kept in the butter part of my refridgerator, so i can buy 80 of them (about $5) and have enough for more then a month
