Fruit grub. Pachnoda

[Kate]

I've got some Pachnoda to feed to Popeye. I know they bite. Can they do any damage if they bite the Cham?

 

[DavidBuchan]

Yes. The jaws are ridiculous on those things.....they are not particularly healthy I think.....and out of my 3 lizards only Ashleigh would eat them. She doesn't like them much though........ I won't be buying them again.

What! No link David! Unsure whether to feed them or just let them change to beetles. Have you fed the beetles?

 

[bradley]

I wouldnt feed the beetles really due to their hard shell.

These are like waxworms - a treat. You can crush the head so they cannot bite. all my chams seem to like them. The beetles look good too!

 

[Kate]

Don't know if I can crush the head

You could let them turn to beetles and start a colony. Then you can feed the smaller babies off when they arrive.
