Hi and welcome to the forums!! Most people only feed hornworms as treats because they are fatty and can cause your cham to gain weight so you definitely need to dust your primary feeders such as crickets or roaches with calcium without D3 Daily. Also, you need to post some pics of your panther so we can see how cute hi is

Yes, supplementation is extremely important along with proper housing and lighting.... You can search this forum and use keywords like supplementation to gain more knowledge on the subjects you need help with. But filling out the ask for help form along with posting some pics of your set up will be very helpful for people here to guide you. There are lots of wonderful people her to help.

Welcome to the forum!

Unless hornworms make up a large part of your chameleons diet, you dont really need to calcium supplement them.

Contrary to what was said above, the information I have suggests hornworms are NOT particularily fatty, btw.

 

[sandrachameleon]

...Most people only feed hornworms as treats because they are fatty and can cause your cham to gain weight so ...

can you point me to some nutritional analysis to support this? All the information I have suggests Hornworms are NOT fatty.

Are you perhaps thinking of superworms (which do have a high fat content)
