Waxworms for my cresties :-):-)??

If you want a good, nutritious feeder insect that is easy to breed try feeder roaches. I like blaptica dubia a lot--it can take a little while to get your colony going depending on how many adults you start with, but once it's going they will really produce well.

I've had ZERO luck with any worms with my cresties, they've just shown no interest. Luckily I know a panther chameleon that takes pheonix worms, hornworms, and silkworms quite happily.

I have had luck feeding dubia roaches to most of my cresties. They're high in protein and a great feeder. Most of the time I dust with calcium (no D3), with the rare herpvite or calcium w/d3 dusting.

Protein and calcium are far more important to gecko growth than fat.

I don't think we can get the roaches here. I'm in Burlington and have cresties and have asked around about them before.
