How often?

I decided to buy some hornworms today gave some to Cali and he ate them right up. I was just wondering how often i should give him hornworms?

Hornworms should remain mostly a treat. I'd say around once or twice a week. They are great for hydration as well.

No problem! They actually aren't bad for your cham like some other worms. Its just that there are better worms in terms of nutritional value, and if your cham gets addicted to hornworms, it can be an expensive addiction! I think of it as lobster for them.

My baby luckily hasn't turned down anything yet. She gets a mix of sorties and exos every feeding. Crickets and silkies, then dubias and Phoenix the next, Fridays are mealworms but only a few. We were lucky and a friend gave us her cricket and dubia colonies and we bought 500 silk eggs.
