Worms are only a treat. You just hold them in your hand.

It's quite difficult to hand feed a fruit fly.......but with a cricket if you hold one of its legs and let the Chameleon see it that should do it. Sometimes you'll have to be patient and stay very still for a while. It really doesn't usually take much to get a chameleon interested in mealworms, just drop a couple into a bowl and he'll work out the rest. Remember that mealworms are low in nutrients and high fat so should only be a very occasional treat

If you're afraid of holding bugs buy one of those two foot long tweezers too. Haha.

that is normal since your cham is still soo young, they will hiss and act like they are gunna bite..just stay calm move slow, crix are the easiest to hand feed, unless you buy some baby silk worms from mullberry farms..but here is my male when he was 3 months old hand feeding..

I have a 4 month old panther and i've had him for about almost 2 weeks and he still wont hand feed, he just puffs up in his little defensive position.

I prefer the two leg method with crickets since they want to struggle and pop their little legs off.
