It could be too late to get them onto eating maggots.
Cordons will take Meal Worms far quicker, at times frustrating watching
them just eating the heads and flicking the rest but generally others eat those bodies
or the Cordons go back to them.
It is far easier to keep and feed out Meal Worms.

Fish and Tackle Shops stock Maggots for Fishermen
try those in your Area.

Hi all, you may be right, bought mealworms and the female cordon LOVES them. Almost takes it from your hand.

That's great Paul,the smaller the better mealworms otherwise they just bite their heads off as E Orix said.As for buying maggots from a tackle shop,they are blowfly maggots which are too big for small waxbills.
