i have to go to the store today to get mealworms, and i thought i might get waxworms. ive never got them before. il try to get the smallest container because i know not to feed them too often. so, exactly how often?

Offering food every other day is a good rule of thumb.

For waxworms if its to fatten up 2 or 3 every 2 weeks but if its just a treat feed them 2 or 3 a month.

I said to offer food to your gecko every other day wax worms should be used AS A TREAT AND NOT AS A MAIN FOOD SOURCE. Id offer them weekly substituting a feeding.
