my chameleon doesnt care for hornworms

[joemacchirella]

so i bought some hornworms and fed my cham and he ate two the first day they came then after that i tried to feed him hornworms again for the last couple days and he wont go for them so i put in crickets and he devours them as well as the superworms i give him and the occasional wax worm its funny i heard about chams eating hornworms and only wanting them but mine could care less about them which kinda sucks since their expensive but any ideas on how to make him want them i have about 68 or so left i sold some on craigslist out here earlier today once i noticed that some were too big for him to eat

do you cup feed? if so maybe try a hornworm in with a couple other bugs at the same time. if its still left after the others he just might not like it period lol

Huh?

If he is young, he might not like them my veiled only ate about two or three when he was about seven months old, now that he's almost a year and a half he loves them.
