primrose gutloaded bug

[LBonawitz]

so my daughter found a cut worm in the primrose and fed it to my cham. theres a bunch of green stuff that came out when he bit it, so it must have been pretty full of primrose leaves.

do you think this will be harmful for my cham.?

Well, for the most part, it's good not to feed your chameleon food from outside unless you are 100% sure that it isn't harmful and it's pesticide free.

I don't know what a primrose is, so someone else will have to chime in on that.

Primrose is used in culinary dishes, so I very highly doubt it is harmful to chams.

Primrose has different types.
Which primrose is it?

Brock mention about its usage in culinary dishes.
I would tend to agree and probably your cham should be fine...

But, ASPCA listed primrose as toxic for cats, dogs, and horses.
I am not sure the effect on reptile.

I would pay extra attention to your cham for couple of days.
Next time, be caution on feeding wild insects. make sure that whatever it's eating is not poisonous.
