I had bought a cup of superworms, and put some collard greens on the top... within 30 minutes they were all at the top munching away...

So just place a small amount of gutload in the container and see what happens!

Yes they can be gut loaded with everything you give to crickets. I actually keep mine in a cup of my dry gut load instead of the bran stuff they come in and throw in greens and fruit on the top. I take out the fruit when it gets gross but leave the greens in because it dries up and then becomes part of the dry mix. The link in my signature has nutritional info on commonly available fruits and veggies if you want some ideas for what to use!

Supers are one of the only worms that can be gutloaded. You can feed them basically everything you feed your crickets.

I agree.
carrots, slices of orange, and plenty of healthy greens is what I feed mine.
mine don't seem to like strawberrys or blueberries though.

You know I have noticed some insects can be pickey. Even just from batch to batch. Some can be pickey. Thats weird and funny.

Almost ALL larva typically fed to chameleons CAN and should be gutloaded, including superworms. Superworms will eat grains, vegetables, dead (from old age) crickets, fruit, etc.
