Fruits

[Steveomanning]

I want to feed my chameleon fruit but I am not sure how to get him to go after it. What strategies do you guys use?

Espio loves apples. I cut it into little bitty pieces and hold it in between my thumb and pointer finger with enough sticking out that he can easily get it with his tongue or mouth. Then I just wiggle it back in forth. The movement catches his attention and he comes over and eats it. Once he recognizes something as food I can just put some of it in his little feeding area where I normally put his bugs and he will eat it whenever he wants.

Ender will pretty much only eat things that are bright colors... He doesn't hand feed much, yet.

So raspberries are the best thing he'll go for right now

sometimes just stabbing small pieces onto the ends of branches in the cage will work.

Sometimes putting little pieces in a bowl that the chameleon already associates with food (insects) will work.
