Waxworms are very fatty and should only be fed to either underweight reptiles or as a treat for healthy ones:
Most reptiles need a varied diet; the only worm we recommend as a staple is Phoenix Worms which look very similar to waxworms
Phoenix worms are the gold standard of feeders, but many bearded dragons are slow to make the switch, especially if they are used to fast-moving feeders like crickets or dubia. However, it's very worth it to encourage them to make the switch as they are extremely high in calcium (you won't need to dust feeders anymore!), and have the perfect balance of calcium and phosphorus.
