Default How many superworms in a 500g bag?

Roughly speaking of course i'm getting a chameleon soon and want to feed him these along with calcigrubs as his staple diet, some people say they're a good staple diet and some don't, i'm gonna use them because I can't be dealing with anything that stinks or crawls!

I've seen superworms available in bulk bags and was just wondering what the quantity of them was, thanks.

not sure on what you would get but imo it would be best that if at least you or a friend would be able to feed something other than these as your chameleon may not like them, my beardie wont eat calci grubs and id ordered 2 pots lol

When I first get them i'll probably only get a small amount first to see if he likes them,I just wanted to check for future feedings, I really don't wanna deal with crickets!

crickets are better for gutloading.

a chams diet needs to be varied so you will have to deal with some crawly things at some point if you want a healthy cham

the answer is approximately 900-1000..

the average weight of a giant morio is around 0.5 of a gram, or just over.. therefore depending on how many heavier ones you get, it should be around the 900-1000 mark,

(i did also count once.. i wanted to know how long a half kilo would last snuff the skunk, if she was eating 30 of them a day.. i seem to remember it was around 970 that i counted.. )

well if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well! That's what I say - usually shortly after someone pointed out an easier way of doing it!
