Chameleon Info:
My Chameleon - Vailed Chameleon, 12 months to 14 months i think, the guy from the pet shop where I bought was not sure. I have him since february.
Handling - Every day, he is not aggressive or ever tried to bite, he always comes to me, i never needed force him to come out. He eats in my hand, asks for help when something in his eyes is boring him, he starts scratching his eyes on my fingers, so lovely.
Feeding - He eats something like 7 to 10 mealworms per day.
Sometimes he eats 2 or 3 crickets, he usually doesn't want these crickets, he rarely eats crickets.
He realy hates Cockroach, always runs from it. I don't know what i have to do to he eats more.
Supplements - Calcium + D3, Exoterra.
3 times per week
Watering - I'm watering 2 or 3 times per day, with warm water with 3 or 5 minutes each time. I don't have a mist system. There is a fountain water, I never see him drinking, but i think he drink.
Fecal Description - Seems nice to me, but it was never tested for parasites.
History - He really love to eat a leaf from a Portulacaria afra or jade plant as is known, I think it's because this leaf has a lot of stored water. Every day he is on this tree and takes 3 or 4 hours of sun.

What I need to do for him to eat more crickets and cockroaches?
I've left him without food for two days, but he does not eat cockroaches, but the crickets he eats 2 or 2 mealworm giants.
He also does not eat the mealworm beetles.
