I have read a few times about people feeding their chams houseflies and bluebottles etc and i was wondering at the nutritional value of feeding these?
Fruitflies i can understand because they eat fruit but houseflies and bluebottles? dont they only eat crap and other nasty things? And what about maggots as they only eat dead flesh, do people feed their chams these too?
I am interested as there are plenty of fishing tackle shops in my area but not many reptile suppliers so if I can be convinced that feeding these is nutritionally worthwhile then i may go and get some.
