mealworm beetles?

[ChameleonRave]

obviously my motives aren't to let my cham starve if i'm looking for other feeders. it's just that my choices are limited at this point

I didn't mean to imply you wanted to starve your cham(s), but you have to make leeway for them to survive a happy and healthy life. Even if you don't like crickets, you are going to have to suck it up and try it once in a while. Try and figure out solutions so you don't have to use them as feeders as much. Try getting some superworms, if they aren't too big for you chameleon. If not explore different feeders and see what your chameleon really likes.

I have been planning on getting some of these beetles because what I understand is that if you put them into your roaches bin they will do all the clean up for you...

That sounds very interesting. I must check this out. c:
