Wax Worms Tub – Premium Live Food for Aquatic and Terrestrial Pets

Wax worms (Galleria mellonella larvae) are a popular live food choice among aquarists and reptile enthusiasts due to their soft bodies, high fat content, and palatable texture. They provide an excellent energy source and can encourage feeding response in finicky eaters or new pets.

🌿 Nutritional Value

Wax worms are rich in protein and natural fats, helping promote healthy weight gain, recovery, and breeding conditioning. They can be used as a supplemental food to enhance diet variety and nutritional balance.

Nutrient Approximate Value
Protein 15–17%
Fat 20–22%
Moisture 60–65%
Fiber 1–2%

⚠️ Feeding Tip: Due to their high fat content, wax worms should be offered occasionally as a treat or dietary supplement, not as the primary food source.

🪱 Key Benefits:

  • Rich in essential nutrients and energy
