worms & roaches

[helpme]

My cham is only eating the silkworms, dubia roaches and repti worms right now. He is on a cricket strike. Is this combination ok?
anything else I should try ?

Most people use crickets as a staple because they are easy to get and are cheaper than silkworms. Dubia roaches are very healthy for chams. You are doing just fine. More variety is always better, but you are ok.

I'm pretty sure dubias are just as nutritious if not more nutritious than crickets so I think it shouldn't be too bad that he won't eat crickets, just keep trying though.

I'm in the process of setting up a dubia colony so that I can get rid of crickets entirely. Roaches are better as they offer a higher protein to chitin ratio. Also they don't smell bad, chirp, or jump.
