Breeding Waxworms

[J-Man]

Hi, I'm gonna be breeding waxworms but I have a question. How do you get out waxworms if there are moths in the enclosure? Won't they fly away?

Ok, I guess nobody knows lol. I have another question... if I make a substrate (out of honey, bran etc) how much do I make? I mean is it just supposed to coat the bottom of the enclosure? or is it supposed to be deep enough for them to crawl into? Gimme the skinny lol

Thanks,

Hello.
I tried breeding waxworms without success. I got packets of eggs, but none hatched.
I know that once they pupate into the moths, they only live a short while. They will be very busy for a couple weeks, breeding and laying eggs. Then die. So no worry about the moths, just don't open the container for that short while.
Then you have to incubate the egg-coated papers. This I can't help you with. But its all written up somewhere. Happy web-surfing.

My honey-bran stuff was about an inch thick. The worms are tiny, I can't see using more than that.
Good luck. D.
