[ImaLeaf]

Hey,

I have a 7 month old veiled chameleon and the person that was suppose to feed him for me bailed cause of family issues i have the lights and water taken care of with a time and mistking but he might not receive crickets for two days. I know its bad but will he live? still trying to find an replacement thanks

I've heard they can live a week. Maybe more.

Thats not bad. They can go at least a week. Hell be fine

He will be fine, and very happy to see you with some yummy treats.

If he's healthy at 7 months he'll be absolutely fine for a couple of days. My naughty male Veiled was 10 months old when he refused to eat crickets for a while. He only wanted locusts or mealworms and lasted over 2 weeks on nothing before he gave in.........they can be stubborn if they are on hunger strike

Actually, a healthy chameleon can probably go weeks without eating. So 2 days is nothing, don't even worry about it.
