9 crickets in one day?!

[brieannab]

My cham gizmo is 6 months old very friendly and a cute little guy! The past few days it's almost like he isn't getting enough to eat. Yesterday he ate 6 crickets, today he ate 9 and one silk worm. He dosent like mill worms. The petco in my town only sells silk worms, mill worms, super worms and night crawlers. I'm hand feeding him so I can monitor his eatting. He also just had his 1st shed about 4 days ago. (wasn't sure if that can boost his appetite.) He is very active and we are doing gut loading and calcium like the care sheets say. But I guess my biggest question is, when can I up grade him to med size crickets or even large? I know one care sheet I read said it depended on his mouth size. So he is this most recent picture i have on him tell me what you think! Please[emoji6]

He's looking good , and that is perfectly normal for him to eat lots. It may seem like a lot for a Chameleon to eat at once but they're growing so they can eat more than when they're full grown. When my Chameleon Sven was growing, one day he ate 22 Crickets! Now he eats 1 to 3 crickets a day and a super worm or hornworm once an a while as a adult.

I give my 9 month old Sambava panther all he wants. When he's had enough, he stops. He's eaten 20+ medium crickets plus mealworms and a waxie or two frequently. Now that is spread out throughout the day of course, not all for breakfast. He is a big sturdy looking brute with attitude. Enjoy the ride of raising these guys; I sure am!
