Chameleon diet help

[markaswanston]

Can anyone help me out with best diet for Veiled Chameleon
My Chameleon is 16 weeks old, shedding, drinking, but will only eat meal worms.
I am cup feeding him, so know what he eating. I am placing meal worms and crickets in the cup, but he will only eat the meal worm, leaving the crickets in the cup. I have tried different sized crickets and he still leaves them.
Also tried just placing crickets in cup, he will go look but will not eat them.
Any ideas ?

Take the mealworms away, they have no nutritional value. Try other types of worms, and they are not stupid, they won't let themselves starve to death. I would at least try superworms, but you should go with silkworms, butterworms or hornworms as the best options. Always keep a variety around.
