butter worm nutrition?

[Bartman]

Anyone have the percentages of fat and protein and all that. I can see my cham is insane over them, i think hes intrigued by the red, but i want to know how good they are for him and how many i can feed him daily or weekly.

Thanks for any info!

thats how myne started to eat silkworms and mealies! he was afraid of all of them until i feed him butter worms, i also beleive cause of the redish orange that attracted him to eat it. Once he ate that he started to eat silkworms which he never did before, but i dont think its a good staple cause of the fat, but i dont know to much about them sorry

Feed him all you can afford to buy, they're quite good food.

Crickets are more fattening then butters? I might as well feed him as much of these as i can :)
