I feed pill bugs (aka wood sows) to my Panther chams on a semi-regular basis. They are very much enjoyed by my chams.

If you have a cham prone to getting bunged up or prolapses, you may was to limit how many of these they get. The hard "shell" of the pill bugs can be slow to digest, so no more than a couple at a time, and a few days between offerings.
