    Default Home grow waxies


    I had gotten a container of waxworms for some ice fishing. but due to thee warmer weather i couldent get out as much as i wanted to. So i put my waxworms onto the top of my fridge and forgot about them, a few weeks later i discovered some moths in the bait cup. So i grabbed a 5 gal bucket threw in the rest of the cacoons and some wax paper, and surran waped the top w/ some holes. i currently have had 5 waxworms hatch, 2 died. I was wonderng what is the process i need to go thru to sucessfully raise them. Do i need to feed the moths or give them any water? Also i read that the worms can be steralized by keeping them in a fridge for 5 hours and a very low tem. If domeone can go into a little more detail on how they raise them that would be greatfully appreciated.

    It's often best just to start with Google:
