Gutloading worms

[jlkukuk]

Do I need to gutload meal worms, wax worms, or butter worms?
If so with what?

Yes, you should gutload all prey as much as possible

for mealworms, this is what I do: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/443-superworm-substrate-gutload-one.html
its still a good idea to lightly dust with calcium and/or vitamin powder

For butterworms, I lightly steam (then cool) butternut squash and they will eat a little of that. Dusting lightly with a vitamin powder is fine, but no need for calcium powder.

waxworms are not a very good feeder choice, but they will eat honey on bran. http://www.dendroworld.co.uk/BDGarchive/waxmoths.html
