My chameleon is starting to eat less of his food. I give him dubia roaches, and crickets all the time with the occasional super worm. I was wondering what other insects I could try feeding him. I'd really like to keep dubia as the staple diet and I don't want him getting hooked on anything else. Any recommendations?

Silkworms or hornworms are easy ones to add.
My 2 guys love the hornworms, but they do grow really fast. My last batch outgrew my Chams, this time I ordered small ones and am keeping them much cooler in hopes it slows growth.

recommendation #1 - don't have a staple.
Instead, offer a variety of prey, always. aim to have no single prey type make up any more than 40% of the diet. Even better if you offer enough choices that no single feeder prey type need make up more than 20% of the total monthly diet.
options include: termites, indian walking sticks, silkworms, butterworms, terrestrial isopods (wood sows), moths, hornworms, blue bottle flies, hissers, soldier fly maggots...
