Why did my wax moths die?????

Chameleon996 Nov 12, 2004 03:15 PM

I get my crickets and wax worms from worm man. I decided to use his recipe and try to breed some of my wax worms. I got the worms to turn into moths but they died within two weeks without laying any eggs on the wax paper. Any suggestions?
