minimealworms for baby panthers?

[KCcham]

I just ordered 500 of the minimealworms from this site http://www.minimealworms.com/

Has anyone tried to use these to feed baby panthers?

Would cup feeding be the best way?

Thanks!

Yes...

Yes, I have used them... when I first got them I was like WOW they are really small. So holding onto them was a bit tricky... I hand fed them to my baby but if your Cham won't hand feed than I supose you could put a few in a cup for them.

Thanks! Right now I have seven babies that have hatched so far so I think cup feeding them would be a bit easier

Oh my!

Yes, in that case cup feeding would be easier... lol

I have heard that using worms for baby chams makes them think their brothers or sisters tails are food.

my chameleon is pretty small and it gets scared when i put my hand in the cage so i cant really hand feed yet, so i have a little dish to put the little worms in and he eats a couple here and there.

500 is a pretty large amount in my opinion, you dont want to feed mealworms too often, or have it as a staple food for that matter. but they will last quite a long time refrigerated. im not sure about minimeal worms, but mealworms are harder and too much can cause impaction, they are also a pretty fatty food. i would stick to crickets, small silk worms and small hornworms (if sizable to eat) meal worms a few times a week and a couple at a time, not a whole meal

That was my plan, to just use as an occasional feeder not as a staple. Right now we are using fruit flies, crix, silkworms, and some tiny roach nymphs.
