Feeding veiled

hey, I've been reading articles on feeding a veiled chameleon and I've been pretty confused. There is a lot of conflicting information. I was hoping you could give me some advice to feeding one. I've researched everything else with chameleons. Can you tell me what you do?

Thanks
 
The best start is here

For a very small veiled I would go with calci (phoenix) worms -fruit flies and pin head crickets and house flies adding in silkworms and small hornworms as he grows - and I can't stress how much a good gut load improves their over all health.
You want to be careful with supplements - dusting with plain calcium nearly every feeding and with calcium w/D 2 times a month & multivitamin 2 a month - too much D isn't good - and how much depends on what species you have so following the care sheet for a veiled is important -
I've seen different care sheets that give slightly different information - My suggestion is use the one from this site- it was put together to make things as simple as possible for new keepers and done by people with years of experience -
