Feeding cups

[Gbetts1986]

My veiled chameleon will look like she's going for the crickets or silk worms I have in her feeder cup, get up real close like she's gonna snatch them then just stares. She will stare for like 20-30 seconds then go back to her spot. What's up with that?! Any advise? Thanks

How long have you been trying? When your veiled is hungry enough, she/he may eat from the cup, although they seem to prefer free range feeding.

I have a 5 months female veiled who I feed 10-12 crickets a day.

I placed them in a container in morning and she didn't eat one cricket so around noon I placed the crickets inside for free range and she chase every single of them as soon as she saw them

I have been trying for a few weeks. She will eat them here and there. I don't mind free ranging but I just like to know for sure how many she is eating. Don't want the crickets sitting in there overnight or hiding down on the floor of the cage.

I ordered a bunch of hornworms because I heard they like those and strangely enough she didn't eat one. She does like silk worms though. This last month or so she has been particularly picky. I just got some soldier fly larvae and I'm gonna wait til they pupate then feed them to her because she loves flies
