Loose stool

My 8 month old panther chameleon has runny poop. The white part looks normal but the brown part is not completely formed. It only occurs when I feed him hornworms. And usually last a day or two after feeding him one. I started to feed him 2-3 horn worms a week because I noticed he loved them but his stool has not been normal. I have read hornworms are great for chameleons. I also have been gut loading his crickets with calcium and "cricket food" as well as feeding them a mixture of apples, broccoli, carrots, and red cabbage. Is it normal for the poop to not be formed after feeding him a hornworm? Or is something else going on do you think. He looks healthy. Doesn't look dehydrated but I do not want him to get that way.

My cham did the same, but I mix the hornworms with crickets so 2 crickets 1 hornworm and it helped his poop issue.I wouldn't stress it too much.
