    Default Maturing waxworms into moths

    Has anyone ever done this? What does the process involve? (housing, feeding, time duration, etc)

    Thanks.

    I have done it, usually by accident. Just don't refrigerate or feed them to the frogs, and they will mature. Feeding them to the frogs can be a little problematic as they can fly, but treefrogs love them.

    Yup especially whites.
    Just make sure that they cannot escape and end up dyeing in your house.

    Have any of you ever tried to breed the moths?

    Never tried, have no clue how to.

    what should be fed to the waxworms/moths?

    Would a staple of crickets/moths with an occasional waxworm or 2 be a sufficient diet for a tree frog, provided the insects are gutloaded and dusted?

    Oh, and also, does anyone have any tips/tricks on handling the moths in the process of feeding them to the frogs?

    Thanks for the great replies, everyone
