Waxworms (1000 Count) - Live Feeder and Storage Tips

In this review of the 1000 count Waxworms live feeder, the bottom line is simple: this pack is best for reptile keepers who need a reliable, high-volume treat source and want worms that arrive plump and ready to feed. The reviewer found them especially useful for feeders like bearded dragons and leopard geckos because the worms are healthy on arrival and can remain usable for weeks under the right storage conditions. The included virtual care sheet and special packaging make this a practical option when live arrival and short-term storage matter most.

Key Features

• Live feed quality: Waxworms arrive visibly plump and active, making them an attractive, easy-to-target treat for many small to medium sized reptiles and amphibians.
• Large pack size: A 1000 count supply reduces the need for frequent ordering, which is useful for multi-pet households or frequent feeders.
• Packaging for live arrival: Special packaging and choice of carriers helps increase the odds that worms survive transit in varied weather conditions.
• Care and storage guidance: A virtual care sheet is provided to explain proper storage in cool conditions and feeding technique to extend worm longevity.
• Flexible shipping: Multiple carriers are used depending on location and weather to help get live insects to customers quickly.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at owners of bearded dragons, crested geckos, leopard geckos, fat tail geckos, tree frogs, day geckos and small turtles who want a high-volume, ready-to-feed treat option. It is also appropriate for hobbyists who prefer live feeding and need worms that can survive a short period in transit and remain viable when refrigerated.

Those who should look elsewhere include keepers who need long-term frozen or dried supplies, or buyers who require specific shipping carriers; carrier requests cannot be honored. If you only need occasional single feeds, smaller quantities may be more economical.

Pros & Cons

• High survival and plumpness on arrival translate to a ready-to-feed live option for picky eaters.

• Virtual care sheet helps owners store and feed worms correctly to extend usable life.

Cons
