Where is the best place to get 1000 to 5,000 wax worms?
With ice fishing starting, I need to get some ordered.
I don't like to pay $2.00 for 36 of them locally, so I would appreciate finding an online store with the best prices including shipping.
Thanks,
DKS.

Ok... so you buy 2000 or more waxworms. What do you do with and how to you feed the ones that are staying home?

Id check eBay, I bought 200 of them last year I cant remember the seller (Ill double check) but they arrived in a few days packaged real nicely and he even threw in extra 25 if any died during shipping.
Im sure you can contact the sellers through eBay and ask them for a better deal & shipping arrangements with with those quantiles.

The order is split 4 ways. 1000 divided by 4 = 250
It doesn't take that long to go through 250 wax worms.
You don't feed wax worms. Just take what you need for a day and leave the rest back home.
They last about 4 to 5 weeks that way.

250 for $20, yes too much. The link I posted you can get 1000 for $22. Being the gentleman that I am I will still take you up on those beers!
$20.00 isn't alot when it comes to fishing, I realize that but you might as well get the most for your money.

this is agreat idea..sounds like fun..id suggest you dont try this in your home though..women dont like these things..this could lead to a major disaster...if your not carefull...just thoughtfull advice

yes, definitely a lot of fun to grow your own, but they are very hard to keep contained. The young ones can slip through almost anything and the bigger ones will chew through almost anything you can think of to cover them with. If you decide to do this, put the container in a shallow pan with a little water in it to drowned the escapees.[

They reproduce like crazy. 25 will get you between 500 and 1000, with good growing conditions.
I have growing waxies and mealies for a couple years now so if you have any questions feel free to drop me a line I will help you out all I can.

They usually fail to see the humor in little waxies crawling around in the house, I speak from experience it can get you in a load of trouble !![
