I ran to the store yesterday to get crickets but they were all out so I got some calci worms (are those good for them) and this morning he ate them! I’m just so excited bc he used to not touch worms!

Calci-worms are just another name for BSFL (Black Soldier Fly Larva).
Yes, they're good for chameleons, but should still be fed with a variety of others.
Variety is always best; both for nutrition and it better simulates a natural diet.

I didn’t know we were to feed the bsfl! Do we feed carrots and greens like our other feeders?

Most don’t feed their bsfl anything. I feel bad for starving them and about once a week give them some veggies or bug burger. I have found that they seem to pupate into flies faster though. That’s fine for me as I prefer giving my chams the flying treats more than the larva.

Ok, I’ll give mine some veggies then. I just didn’t know. I thought the stuff they came in was their food.

So do I, mine shun the larvae. Larvae will eat squash, etc. but will strip those little mini sweet peppers down to skin as thin as tissue paper.
Bonus is, if you keep them in coco coir and feed them, the coir turns into this wonderful humus for the garden.

I just gave my bsfl some red pepper, rosemary, carrots, and arugula. Eustis loves BSFL!
