When i get wax worms for ferret and gecko, for Fudge he does not get many as fattening. But when they pupate i gave them to ferret, i didnt know Fudge would enjoy trying to catch the moths.
What do i put them in, do i need food/water crystals for them?

I know how you feel, it really does not look like Fudge eats any cgd and only droppings as proof

Harley wont unless I dip her nose in it, dont like doing that though. She is just a fussy Gek! She is developing right and growing so she is eating and her bones are fine etc which is my biggest worry but she is OK I just worry because she leaves no trace of eating other than little poops.

I put some cgd on my finger just so i know that Fudge will eat it!

She has barely been eating anything over the winter, a real pain in the bottom, though I'm monitoring her weight and she has gained a bit. I have repashy in for her 24/7 and I think she is surviving by a few licks a week. I give her 2 insects a week that are calcium dusted just to keep me happy.

Thanks for that. Any chance of seeing Harley go after them?

Nothing, they dont eat, they only become moths to mate and die. You could keep them in a pot put some powdered weetabix mixed with honey in the bottom, so its still crumbly but if you squeeze it, it will hold together until you crumble it again. Put a few strips of cardboard in and the moths should lay you some eggs that will become more wax moths, free food! (I have a tub setup like this, they seem to like it, just getting the moths through now)
