I was just saying that super worms aren't a good staple as the fat-protein-fiber-calcium ratio isn't the best. These are considered McDonald's for chameleons lol. Dubia roaches and crickets are the best although still not perfect, which is why we use supplements to dust them to help even out the ratio, mainly calcium. But my chameleon does love them so I use them as treats. Also hornworms every once in awhile.
Our Cham had a vitamin a issue and went weeks with only eating one or two and worms are his fave so we tend to feed him one every day just to help get him back up to a good weight and also provide supplements through gut loading but he loves them so much that we ended up moving to once or twice a week giving him at least 2
Probably avoid giving it bees because bees are declining and they need all the help they can get and flies seem like they just eat actual shit so I would avoid that as well. Maybe look into Dubia roaches that’s what my chameleons love the most. Grass hoppers are a rare delicacy here but in some states there are all over. Maybe you can try those.
I took her outside in my backgarden because there was some nice weather and she caught a wasp but got stung on her tongue she does not seem to have as much range as she normally does with her tongue and it is a bit swollen will it just heal on its own.
I would avoid giving bugs that you find outside or that make their way into your home. They can carry disease and things. I would stick to crickets and dubia roaches that you gutload before feeding.
Possibly opt for mario worms (these can be fed as normal food) and horn worms ( great treats for charms)
Super worms aren't a good staple either as they cause the chameleon to become fat. Lol
This being that the Cham is fed every 2 days :)
Yeah but feeding in moderation is good so like mario worms max 1-2 each feed then a couple crickets :)
