Wax Worms?

[Mystus Redtail]

So its getting to be ice fishing season up here in the snowy north and wax worms are getting a lot more available. I was wondering if they have any nutritional value or if they're just filler?

Thanks in advance.

they are mostly fat and moisture, but do have some protien.

here is their nutritional value

• Moisture - 62%
• Ash - 1%
• Protien -16%
• Fat - 20%

you can feed them to your cats, i'd use them as a treat though.

thanks, sad story tho, I went to the store and someone had messed with the thermostat on the fridge, it was 90 degrees F. The night crawlers that I really wanted were baked...
