I have a jackson chameleon (male, age around 7 months) and he seems to prefer any other food but crickets. He loves worms (even though they're only supposed to be for treats)
I was wondering if dubia roaches could be an ok substitute for crickets. I would definitely not be completely stopping his diet of crickets. But it's been hard to get him to eat them. So maybe if he didnt feel like eating crickets, I could give him the roaches instead? Just to get more food in him.
There's no other problems with him besides him not always wanting crickets. He'll eat them, but not always. He absolutely goes crazy over worms. As soon as I drop one near him he devours it. But, the worms are definitely not good enough to be a regular diet for him.
So, would the roaches work??
