Crickets dying?

[Thebigman2001]

My chameleon is 7-8 months old and he loves crickets. But lately I noticed 2 things. One is that he won't eat them anymore. And also the crickets are dying. I cup feed my chameleon and when I put the crickets in the cup, they spread their legs out and start to shake and die. Can anyone explain?

What other types of feeders are you offering? If it's just crickets, then imagine yourself eating nothing but steak...you will eventually grow sick of it and want something else. As for the crickets dying, is water getting into the cup? Are they piled on top of each other for a long period of time? Could you please provide us with a photo of your setup and cup?

Are you breeding your own crickets? buying them? Chameleons can become bored with the same food. Pictures would be helpful. Also: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/
