I was at my local mom and pop pet store today buying crickets and I overheard one of the employees telling another employee what to tell customers about hornworms to make a sale. She said that they are very high in calcium so they make great feeders. I know that they are great for dehydrated lizards but am I wrong in thinking that there are several better options for high calcium feeders? (phoenix worms, silk worms, butter worms are what I can think of off the top of my head) I was going to buy some because they told me they were small...$13 for a cup of about 12 or $1.25 each. No thanks. I know to take everything the pet store employees tell me about chameleon care with a grain of salt but it bothers me when they are giving this information to people who believe they know what they are talking about.
Sorry about the rant but this is the same pet store who sold me Raine and told me I needed calcium with d3 at every feeding because babies grow fast. She passed away in less than a month because she had an eye infection when I purchased her and was so small (a month) that she never recovered.
