Wax Worm question

[jennanne]

My red foot Peanut has been alternated between wax worms, hard boiled eggs, and boiled shrimp every 3-4 weeks. However I noticed the last time I gave her wax worms, they came out whole in her, well, her poop haha. It was just the skin that was leftover and I only found one skin. I usually give her about ten worms. Are these just the wrong worms, am I giving her too many, or is she just not digesting the protein? Help!

Since they don't have teeth, they can't chew up the larvae, so yes, they come out whole. That doesn't mean they aren't getting nutrients out of them. When mine are fed larval insects like this, they generally come out whole as well.
