Hornworm hatred?

[Scottsquatch]

So I got a couple dozen hornworms for my chams last week and neither of my adult Chams would touch them. They would just stare at them and do nothing. They would totally give me the stink eye when I put them in their cages. I am a bit surprised as so many people say how much their chams love them. Go figure.
Eventually, I gave them to a friend with sugar gliders. They were a big hit. At least they didn't go to waste.

My Parsons wont currently touch the hornworms, but my Panthers love them. Sugar gliders are sweet, too bad they're illegal here

My veiled doesn't like them either. He used to eat them every now and st August I went to a reptile convention and bought 5 cups of them for $5 each from rainbow mealworms and my Cham didn't touch them. Silkworms used to be his favorite but the last time I ordered them he didn't touch those either.

I bought like 500 mico superworms right before I got Lil Louie because I knew @jannb fed the them those. Well I tried everything and no luck...I am now the proud owner of almost 500 pet superworms...NOT.

@Fiona's Mom but didn't we all get in the chameleon hobby so we could one day keep pet superworms?

Incoming threads about how to tame your superworms in order to get them to trust you and eat from your hand.

My veiled went nuts over horn worms for the first couple of months. Now if I place one in his enclosure he just looks at me and the worm then walks away. It was like he lost the taste for them over night.
