RED WIGGLERS n NITE CRAWLERS FROM PETSTORE ??

[eli]

was wondering if red wigglers n nite crawlers where ok for my chameleons to eat , seen em at the pet store one day and got curious about it

I personally would never feed chams crawlers or reds. They live and the ground which in itself is very unlike anything a cham would naturally eat. Worst of all is that they're prone to have parasites. I wouldn't feed them to your cham if I were you. Stick to the regular stuff crickets, dubia, butter worms, silks, and super worms. there's a bunch of others but that's what I usually use.
Hope it helps

If they are farmed it is probably much safer- there are out of ground worm farming containers of all sorts on the market.

I used to feed my veileds earthworms sometimes. Most chameleons don't like them, veileds will often take them. They are pretty nutritious, but I suppose unnatural like the other poster pointed out.

In any case, they are unnecessary...
