Chameleon diet

[Bombbow]

i can only get my chameleon to eat crickets. I've tried to put mealworms in a container multiple times but he only seems to want crickets. Any tips or anything else I can try to feed him? He's about 3 months old.

Don't use mealworms they aren't a good feeder. Get super worms instead, look similar but better nutrition. You can try silkworms, hornworms and dubia etc. Finding small ones will be the challenge.
You have try multiple times to get them used to something new. Mixing different feeders together so they get a new one by accident will work sometimes. I wouldn't do it with a youngster but you can withhold crickets for a day and then give the new feeder on the next day when they are hungrier.

Yeah skip the mealworms, a healthy young cham should be take to any of the above^ mentioned quickly.

honeslty you can try to grab a cricket for a superworm. when he goes for it just switch it out real quick, instead of rubbing food on their lips (like i have heard)
