My chameleon won’t eat worms

[ThePFF]

Help! My Cham won’t eat worms Iv Fed her things that fly and those seem to catch her attention but since worms don’t move she won’t eat them what do I do?

What kind of worms are they? Also how are you trying to feed her? Is it cup or hand or something else?

Worms should move, depending on what you are feeding her. Superworms, silkworms, waxworms, etc. will all move. I’ve noticed the superworms will stop after a while, but that might be because his food cup is close to the heat lamp and maybe the are too hot

Food that is moving should get her attention and if she’s still not eating you should consider other things...lighting, supplements, husbandry. Also make sure to gutload them.

I’ve tried wax, meal, and super worms using both cup and hand

What lighting do you have? Its also best to feed in the morning so they have time to digest under the “sun”. What’s your supplement schedule?

They should move a lot, shouldn’t they? My cham won’t eat while I am watching, or if his cup is too full, but I just got him recently

Try crickets.

My chameleon loves roaches. Maybe give those a try? You could mix them together and see if they eat one on accident and eventually eat them...

They Move but not much so she doesn’t pay much attention to them

I feed super worms with plastic tweezers and just put them on screen next to cham. Sometimes takes them from tweezers.
