Though butterworms are high in calcium, they are also high in fat - So they should be offered every now and then and not used as a staple.
The website below has details of the nutritional value of butter worms (sorry my PC won't add a link for some reason).

That's what I throught, but stangley I am the owner of my cham but he freaks out at me most of the time these days (never used to though), even when I move slowly and it does not seem to matter what colour I wear.
But he never freaks out at my boyf who he loves climbing on and lets him get...

Xanthoman - Cheers for the link and interesting info.

Sorry for the late reply, I've not been well over the weekend so was confined to my bed. I think I must have just made him jump or something, as he has not done it again since I posted. Just me being the typical cham mum and worrying over nothing :o
I wonder what I could have done to offend him lol.
Good to know this is just normal - Just a bit out a character, as he is normally so chilled. Something must be stressing him then, not sure what though. Maybe he's just getting grumpy in his old age :rolleyes:
Bit of a werid one but here it goes...
I've had my cham for two years, no health issues and he does not get stressed easily. A few times in the last couple of weeks (for no obvious apparent reason) my cham would go really dark, nearly black and suck his stomach in to make himself look REALLY...
