A few more feeders?

[HiroProtagonist]

So, I've got 3 different feeders that my chameleons love- Hornworms, Butterworms, and crickets (sometimes). They'll eat pretty well as long as I'm constantly alternating between those 3.

What they DONT seem to be very interested in are mealworms and silkworms...and right now, roaches are out of the question.

What do your chameleons love to eat?? Or what feeder insects are there that aren't on the 'standard' list?

I have 2 Veileds and a jack. Their order of preference is:
Silkworms
Dubias
Butter Worms
Wax Worms

*I only feed crickets when I feel like making a special trip to the store to buy them. All 3 love to chase them and eat them though . . .

Will, In the south in the summer we have tons of the brown flying beetles that come to the porch light. I assume their everywhere across the nation though I don't know that for a fact. Would they be safe to feed to my chams. I already feed my chams the grubs that these beetles come from and they are by far my chameleons favorite food. If so, could these be gutloaded or would they be safe without gutloading. I also feed my chams wild grasshoppers. They are very easy to gutload though. Thanks for any info. David
