Wax Worms

schmuck Aug 27, 2003 10:23 PM

Why is it bad to have a leo whose diet mainly consists of wax worms? At least if I remember, people said they should only be used as a treat but one of my leos got addicted and for 3 weeks she wouldn't go back to mealies so I have kept her on wax worms and she has been fine and another one of my leos prefers them to mealies and if he gets addicted I figured since my female who got addicted was fine, so will he. Whats everyones take on this?

Hence his user name... SCHMUCK... J/K! like everyone said... waxies dont have nutritional value like other foods eg: mealies/crix. your best bet is to take her off waxies ASAP!
