Bean Weevils

[chametc]

Hi all, Anyone ever feed Bean Weevils to their baby chameleons? I bought a culture at a reptile show recently. My baby Panthers can not get enough of them. They eat all of the weevils first before the fruit flies and crickets. Not sure how nutritious they are though. Thanks.

I feed bean weevils to my smaller chameleons regularly. They're so easy to breed, you almost needn't do anything but changing beans. The chameleons love it and you can powder the bean weevils really nice with calcium and vitamins. Only my Bradypodion offspring doesn't like the little bugs - perhaps due to the hard shields.

Thanks. I used so many so fast, that I hope I have enough to keep the culture going now that I bought new beans. They seem to not be easy to come by (the weevíls not the beans) LOL. - I love the little crunch when they eat them!
