Mealworms might still be fine, but not for much longer. Wax worms as treats only or to fatten up a cham. You can get small superworms. Hornworms, butterworms, silkworms, multiple types of roaches, and bsfl, along with crickets and mealworms/superworms (mealworms for babies, superworms as occasional variety), all appropriately sized of course, are great feeders for your cham!
Rainbowmealworms.net and dubia roaches sell a lot of variety. Mulberry farms sells a lot but their shipping costs are killer! The amount of roaches depends, you cham could hate dubias, like one of mine. Start small and then buy more as you get a feel for feeders and your cham. If you have one cham, you don’t need an entire breeding colony of feeders
I would err on the smaller side and grow them to size if you’re not sure
Make sure you pick up some feeders from the pet store and gutload them before your cham comes in so there’s something to offer him when he comes in and until the feeders you ordered are gutloaded
Good call, I was going to hold off assuming he'd be too stressed to eat on the first day but yeah I should offer him some food at least. I will scoop up some crickets and gut load with bug burger tonight.
Try hornworms or superworms instead of mealworms, though roaches, crickets, or silkworms would be best
All of the superworms I've ever seen at Petsmart are gigantic, I used to feed them to my leopard geckos. I do not think they carry anything but mealworms, superworms, waxworms, and crickets, but I will ask.
Put the crickets in a tall cup so they can't jump out or try hand/tong feeding
On FL Chams site it says 3-4 months. He said he's around 5" total length, so yeah a baby.
What are you gutloading with?
Repashy Bug Burger for gut load, Repashy Calcium Plus LoD for nutrients
