Calciworms (Phoenix worms), crickets, and hornworms

[Pilotman800]

So I was considering making my almost 3 month old Ambilobes main staples a mix of mostly calciworms, crickets, and hornworms. (with every now and then a meal worm, superworm, and wax worm as a treat)

Do you gutload calciworms and hornworms the same as crickets? Where can I get calciworms?

Josh’s Frogs has Reptiworms (same thing as calciworms) they are all black soldier fly larvae. I don’t think you need to gutload them at all, they are little nutrition pills. Once they get to be full sized grubs, they will not ever eat again anyway, they are done. One thing I would always recommend, let the full sized larvae pupate by either putting them in a little cup of Aspen or let them burrow right in the plant container in the cage, and twelve days later or so they emerge and your chameleons will really love hunting them down and catching them as adult flies.

Awesome, thank you. I appreciate it.

Why don't more people feed their chams calciworms?
