I just got my first shipment in today. I have silkworms & Hornworms. My question is how many silks & hornworms equal a full meal? My cham usually eats 3 supers 2 roaches & 1-2 crickets a day. Should I put just silks 1 day and just horns 1 day? or mix them up?
Thanks for the help
 
Silkies are fine as a staple feeder. The horned worms I use as treats. Maybe put one or two in every 3 days. That way he is jumping at them instead of getting tired of them.

Depends on the size of the silkies, I put them in one by one until they stop going after them aggressively. If I were to guess your guy would probably eat about 6 inch long ones. They seem to fill up chams quicker than crickets and roaches.
