Phoenix worms

[Cmoore]

I'm geting ready to place an order for some silkworms for my 2 mo old veiled cham - Spike and it was suggested that I order Phoenix worms as well to meet the min order. So my question is are phoenix worms good for a cham or not so good like mealworms. Right now Spike is eating about 20 insects per day 1/4" crickets and tiny dubia's. I give him 5 mealworms per week max kind of as a treat and honestly because he eats them out of my hand So once I get the small silkworms here how many of those should I add to the mix? and how many phoenix worms if any? Thanks so much for the advise - the forums have been soooo helpful and my little guys is doing great! P.s. is there anything cuter than a sleeping baby chameleon?

I actually JUST received my order of Phoenix worms. Literally. I won't get home til later to give them to Koopa -BUT- all things that I have read about phoenix worms are that they are very good for chams and they have an extremely high content of calcium (to the point where you don't even need to dust them with calcium). Also, my little guy doesn't like worms, or at least butter worms for that matter. My theory is that he had no interest because the butters were VERY slow and lethargic. I'm happy to say that I've opened the container full of phoenix worms, and they're EXTREMELY active. Wiggling around like crazy. I imagine Koopa's going to love them.

Phoenix worms are great for a small chameleon if your cham likes them. Very healthy as previously mentioned and very easy to deal with. My Jackson loves them
