Alternate or same time

[MIGhunter]

Right now I'm doing crickets and flightless fruit flies. Should I alternate the days or give a little of both each day? I feel like the flies aren't as big as the crickets so he's not getting enough when I do them by themself.

How old is he?

 

[MIGhunter]

bought a "baby" from flchams. Their site says 2-3 months. We've had him a couple of weeks now.

If he is 2-3 months, I would try getting into larger insects than the fruit flies. Perhaps Black Soldier Flies would be a good option. I would even say that it could be time for medium to almost large crickets by now. Do you have a picture of the chameleon so we can see its size?

Here's one of him molting. Don't have any of his full body

 

[Decadancin]

Yeah, seems big enough to me! I'd start offering a bunch of different feeders already. I wouldn't try hornworms yet , but small silk worms would be good.

Should I alternate them by the day or just do crickets, then worms, then roaches, etc?

I'd mix it up, and at that age they can usually eat a couple times throughout the day so you can offer one type of feeder each time.

I alternate... out of laziness. It's been going well for me. Right now I have a ton of adult black soldier flies so they are getting those. In a few days when I run out, I will be feeding some stick insects because I need to thin their numbers. Then I will feed dubias until I pupate some more flies.
