Feeding worms?

[Mossy_Melanie]

i have a 4 month old helmeted…. He is a healthy eater… loves his mesh enclosure. Mainly eats crickets and a couple flies (bsfl) I’ve tried different worms but unless he can go catch it in his enclosure he is not interested…my question: How do you get your cham’s to eat worms

Actually, I’ve never had to try. They went crazy for hornworms and silkies. They were a bit older when I introduced them.

Same as @Decadancin My animals love all worms - horn, silk, wax, super (meal for the geckos). With both silkworms and hornworms, I hand feed those to help maintain trust. Regardless of what feeder you are offering, it is important that they are the correct size. That can be just a tad trickier when it comes to worms. The rule is any feeder larger than the space between the eyes is too large. With wormy feeders, I try to keep the diameter of them much much smaller than that. Also, silkworms don’t move a lot so they don’t attract the same attention. If I’ve got one that isn’t moving enough, I gently poke it or pick it up and then put it down again.
