Vetark's Nutrogrub

[Gryllidae Per Kcal]

Found a new study on Google scholar about gut loading earthworms. Has anyone here tried Nutrogrub from Vetark? I would like to know your experience with it.

Earth worms have too much protein and if not farmed harbor parasites

I'm learning new things about chameleon nutrition and Earthworms as feeders. Earthworms aren't typically used with other reptiles because they aren't always palatable. Do you have sources that I can read about safe protein levels for chameleons?

Earthworms shouldn't be used for chams at all

I’m curious about the specific reason why earthworms are considered toxic to chameleons.

I'm not sure if they're toxic or not, just that they shouldn't be fed. I don't why.
