Cool Wax worms for leo?

I got 11 gecko, some babies, some 5 months and 3 adults
House gonna crickets every where if I don't swith that.

since they can easyly eat 20-30 cricket each a week, would it be
good to feed them 3-6 wax worm each 2-3 days and give them cricket
sometimes?
or is there something else I could give them but not cricket as
regular diet?

thx, email answer accepted

no, u cannot feed wax worms that often. They are too fatty and have no nutrition. and the leo's absolutely love them, and they won't want to eat anything else if u feed them wax worms too much. you can feed mealworms, however, as much as u want. just gutload them and try offering them in calcium powder.

I always keep a small bowl of mealworms in my enclosure. I agree with Lisa that wax worms should only be an occasional treat. Silkworms are very nutricious, but more expensive and harder to find. Whenever I see them I usually get a batch for my herps.

crix, mealies, silkworms, butterworms, waxworms, and pinkies plus i'm sure a couple more other insects. but you don't want to overdo the waxworms and pinkies they should be treats. And always make sure to gutload your insects before feeding them to your lizard to ensure they get all the nutrition they can.

oh yeah don't forget to dust your insects with calcium and herptivitamin.
