Can African Fat-Tailed Geckos Eat Waxworms?

Fat content of 22% makes these the most calorie-dense feeder available — and geckos know it. They are highly palatable to the point of addiction: geckos fed waxworms regularly will begin refusing all other food. Reserve strictly for appetite stimulation during illness or as a very rare reward. Cannot be gut-loaded. Sensitive to moisture and heat; store at room temperature. Fat-tails are particularly prone to becoming overweight, so waxworms should be a rare treat or a recovery food for a thin, ill, or post-brumation gecko.
