if you can find butterworms at a local pet store, you are better off trying to get her eating those. waxworms are alright, but they are a lot of fat and not a lot else. butterworms are mostly protein, which will really be of more use to her than the straight fat alone...
You can also make a "slurry" that is easier to feed from a syringe, rather than having to force feed her bugs. You can make this using
Repti-aid insectivore powder, (1/2 tsp)
peach or apricot baby food (1/4 tsp)
splash of pedialyte (1 1/2 tsp)
well squished up 2 week crickets 5-10
mix this all together well and draw it up into a syringe, drip a drop on the end of her nose and let her lick it off, or let her lick the syringe end. This method is way less stressful for her than forcefeeding her whole insects, and will put weight on her faster and more healthfully than waxworms alone.
Also, how do you figure she is blind?
