Super worms would be too large for a baby.

Just remember to never feed them anything bigger than the width of their head until they grow up. They might choke!

Also be sure the chameleon grabs the tiny superworms by the face.. Because those little things are aggressive. My cham got one by the tail and it swung around and latched onto his eye turret. He thankfully did not get hurt but would not take a superworm for a couple of days.

I would use crickets or something else honestly

i don't like the sound of that. i'll probably refrain from using them for a bit.

Meal worms would be ok, if you gutload them properly: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/443-superworm-substrate-gutload-one.html
