wax worms seem such a high fat worm compared to others, not really worth breeding...just buy once in awhile as a treat. However it all depends on what you plan to feed then too. For bearded dragons, most geckos and other lizards, they are just to fatty to give regularly.

I never bred them myself, though there are all kinds of 'care sheets' on breeding them online...google wax worm breeding should bring up quite a few. From what I remember, a mix of oat bran or wheat bran with honey is used..but that is all I remember.. Only feeder insect I ever bred was silkworms...much more versatile feeder worm than wax worms, more nutritious and not as fatty.
