Do Phoenix Worms cling to the cage or are they pretty much a cup only feeder?

cup only.
but, make sure the cup is not wet. They can use water to climb. Think of it like a maggot.

Got it , Thanks

I have my doubts my guys will even eat them but I thought I would try. Mulberry farms is out of just about everything except Horn Worms and Phoenix Worms.

I've got crickets and roaches. They just love their worms.

Just remember that Phoenix worms have been known to pass right through the digestive system of chameleons without being digested (i.e. whole worms are passed out in the feces). In order to ensure that they are digested, some keepers prick the skin of the worms open with a pin (this has the unfortunate consequence that the grub often dies - so make sure your chams eat 'em while they're still wriggling).

Eeww! I noticed my cham did not touch a single phoenix worm today.

Phoenix worms are a waste of money.

Oh, man, I just ordered a batch! Coastal makes them out to be wonderful, "Calcium rich! Low in fat! Balanced Ca:P! Loved by reptiles!"

Sigh. At least they were on sale, and I ordered a big batch of silkies too, so all is not lost.

Are they just a waste for chams? Would my frogs or my gecko like them, or is it the same deal with all herps trying to digest them? Or am I going to be feeding the wild birds on the deck again?

I don't like them for chameleons.

At least I only spent $5.99. I have Horn worms coming with them so no bother. Looks like mulberry farms will start taking orders for Silkies tomorrow.

Sounds like I got some good bird feeders as well.

My guys love them and I notice improvements even though I supplement. Yes if they don't chew them they pass through.
