Maturing waxworms into moths

[Kurt]

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

Crickets make a good staple, providing they are gut loaded and dusted. I don't think you will be to get enough moths to make them a staple. As far as handling moths, I just grab them, throw them in quickly, and close the cage before they can escape.

Once I forgot about a container of waxworms. A while later I opened it and it was full of moths.
