Feeding methods

[Animal]

I was curious as to how everyone fed thier chams... I just moved my little guy into a new and bigger enclosure. Previously I had been just putting 10 or so crickets into his enclosure (not into a bowl or anything) each morning or whenever it looked like he was low. Since hes in a larger cage its going to be much harder for him to find them, so I was hoping you guys could tell me what methods you use (bowl, hand feeding, etc.)

What type of Chameleon do you have? Also, if it is a veiled I put 15 3/4 Inch Crickets in his cage at about 6 months of age. Hope this helps

Thanks a bunch... I am actually undergoing the exact same process, upgrading my guys cage, and he too is 6 months. But.. I have another question. You say 15 crix, but what if im feeding with supers too. I mean I plan to use crix everyday, but every other day leave 2-3 super worms in another feeder dish in a dif location. I would then need to lower crix intake right? I want to have about 3 dif feeder cups in dif spots. Worms in one then others in another. Sound like a good idea..or just throw them all in one cup?

Maybe you could have just have them all so they don't have to look for the other cups. Or let the crickets roam and the Superworms in the cup?

Thanks for the links guys...very helpful. Ill prolly end up using two. One for the crix and one for the worms so he can have a hunt. hah...if it matters Crix higher in the cage and worms near the bottom... good ideas.
