How many crickets per day?

[SilverWolf]

How many crickets a day should a 7 month old jackson chameleon eat? And what about when they are fully grown?

 

[torreyakatoe]

Mine eats 5 crickets a day. As an adult, I've read they can eat 10 every other day?

 

[SilverWolf]

So an adult goes every other day with no food? Or 5 every other day, and 10 every other day?

Mine eats about 2-3 a day. If he gets a superworm that seems to keep him satisfied for that day; the only prey mine seems to gorge on is BB flies in which he may eat anywhere from 8-15 in about an hour! Jackson's generally don't eat that much compared to other chams.

I know most chams can eat every other day...

 

[Jet76]

Mine will eat 6-8 a day.
