wax worms

[Countryside Chams]

my baby ambanja seems to like his fruit flies and houseflies, but seems to care less about the crickets. i got him on thurs and he ate four quarter inch crickets that night, but has only eaten two since. i was wondering if i should get some wax worms to try, because he eats quite a few flies, but it seems like they wouldnt fill him up. thanks for any help.

Wax worms are fatty and should only be given as a treat. My cham loves them.

Try either superworms, Silkworms or roaches as staple foods. Waxworms are junkfood for lizards

if his cham is still feeding on fruit flys or quarter inch crickets, superworms will be way to large. I would go for small silkworms. Waxworms are not a very good option. SIlworms are nutritious, have a pretty decent calcium/phosphorus ratio and are high in moisture too.
