Superworms

[Breeze]

Hey, Zap's is afraid to eat a superworm and is their anyway for him to at least try it? Thanks.

Maybe try hand feeding or cup feeding some smaller ones first. Huge supers might look a bit intimidating to a small lizard.

Jo is right.
He's still too little.
Wait till he is 6 or 7 months old.

Unless you can find really small supers, they are probably all gonna be too big for him yet. I just got a new tub of supers and there are a good few smaller ones in there. Chams go mad for the newly moulted white ones! Amy didn't have any supers until she was around 5 months old, then I only gave her the smallest ones I had.

I have a 3.5 month old panther I got him to eat superworms up to 3/4 inch long by setting them on the screen so they crawled up toward him.

I fed baby supers to baby chameleons weeks after they hatched. its not age that matters, its size appropriateness.

True that Sandra. Your cham may not be old enough for supers that you buy at petshops but maybe find some baby supers and he may eat those.

I would not worry if he isnt eating superworms yet. If my chams eat these they suddenly quit eating everything else and only want superworms. I feed them superworms once a week, then skip a day of feeding so they do not become addicted to supers. Take care.

My local petstore sells small and medium supers along with the huge ones...so I would just try to find some of those. My panther is closing in on 5 months and loves the smaller ones when I offer them, although I think he would eat anything if I offered it by hand, haha.
