Feeding HELP!

hi my yemen cham stopped eating as soon as he tried waxworm for first time. since then he never touched anything else. he will starve and wait until he will get his waxworms.... what to do? previously he always had mixed diet of crickets and locust.

I'm waiting for my dubia roaches to arrive - I hope that will help

BTW he's around 4-5 months.

Waxworms are like candy to a kid. I'm sure when I was a kid, candy would have worked for me 3 times a day. Waxworms are high in fat content, so sure, they like them and would prefer them.
When they get hungry enough he will go back to the diet you had before.
You can also try flies as already mentioned.
