Meal Worms

[quarinteen]

My cham wont touch a meal worm. He has no interest at all. She is about 3 1/2 months now. If she wont eat meal worms I am wondering if she will eat any worms. Can she live off a pure cricket diet?

Crickets are a good staple if you gut load right... but in my experience mealworms don't work well... I'd try silks and keep the crickets goin.

Hi, I live in Ireland where the choice of feeders is pretty lame.. Panthers are fed on crickets and they’re doing just fine.
Obviously a god variety would be better..

Try letting the worm climb the side of the cage
It stimulates a chase. Mealworms are not very good feeders try getting dub roaches.

I apreciate the suggestion but no roaches in my house What else can i feed him at 3 1/2 months?

Have you looked into roaches? The word sounds gross, but the actual feeder insects dont look or behave anything like roaches usually (S. lateralis do, so don't get those.)

Small superworms are better than mealworms. So are minimealworms (T. obscurus, not T. molitor.) Silkworms, phoenix worms, hornworms, butterworms, flies, etc. all work well.
