Squishy Wax worms!

[LizMarie]

Today I was in the pet shop picking up some bird food and decided to treat Lana and my new additions that should be here this weekend to wax worms and I'm in love with them. I keep rolling them between my fingers and petting them, lmao.

Anyway I haven't dealt with wax worms for YEARS so is there anything I should do so they last a few days?

Did they come in any bedding?

I ordered some that arrived on Friday of last week.
I haven't gut-loaded or done ANYTHING with them except keep them at room temperature, and they're still alive.

Nope they put placed them right into a plastic bag...

When I got some they came basically dead and squishy. I HATE THEM!

hm...I don't know then?

Whenever I get them, they come in, like, an aspen-type bedding or something.
I just leave them in that.

Hmm they were housed in aspen but then the girl just picked them out and put them in a bag, puffed up with air. I have them just walking around a tupperware container.
