Good food choices for a 3 month old

[Forest Gump]

I bought a male veiled chameleon yesterday. He is about 2-3 months old; 4 inches long. What food should be on hand for him? I have crickets and meal worms so far. What do you recommend is best for/ and what should I avoid giving him or typical mistakes with a new chameleon?

That's a good start but limit the amount of meal worms as they are not nutritious and can cause impaction. I have a 4 month old panther and ordered a "chameleon sample pack" from lindasgonebuggie.com. It includes superworms, hornworms, bsf larvae, and crickets.

No mealworms! Silkworms, dubia roaches, hornworms, superworms, crickets,

I agree with Blang just make sure the size is right on the feeders they should be smaller than the size of your chameleon's head so not to choke. Also I would include phoenix worms, calci worms, or whatever they are calling black soldier fly larva. What kind of Chameleon do you have? Have you read the care sheet for it?
