care sheet for worms

taralynn_hughes May 20, 2003 10:42 AM

We are going to start varying Roans diet with wax worms, silk worms and others....but I can't seem to find any care sheets for them. What to feed them, temps they need and how long they live for? Anyone know any good sites?

Hi- waxworms are a pest to bee hives, and feed off of honey and honey comb (wax). I have never kept them to reproduce, because they are not a good staple diet. I can't remember where I saw the food recipet, try www.wormman.com and the big chameleons sites like www.adcham.com I do keep silkworms, and follow the directions on www.mulberryfarms.com FAQ page to hatch and raise the worms. I just now have coccons that hatched and the moths are breeding. I am in California so I dont wory about the temp, only when I am hatching the eggs, I use an incubator. You can get the eggs and worms from mulberyfarms and worms from ebay. This is another good website for care info on silkworms: http://www.geckolizards.com/photos/silkworms/ Hope this helps!
