Glad to hear that he likes them. Most of my guys will eat them. I buy them quite often for the females and end up give some to the boys too.

I would always use some crickets. The more variety the better.

Phoenix worms

I would always use some crickets. The more variety the better.

The brochure that comes with the worms says they used it as only food for leopard geckos and none developed MBD or other issues. However, I would not do that. I agree with Jannb, the more diverse a diet, the better it is!

That said, i find Phoenix worms to be a great component of an insectivore's diet. All of my chams love them. I feed them regularly to all of my chameleons, especially babies and females.
