How to feed Chameleon greens and fruits.

[Orcawhale]

I have a 3 month old Veiled Chameleon and have been feeding him mealworms and crickets. I would like to try feeding him some greens and fruits but as they don't move, he doesn't seem to see them as a food source. I left them in his cage and switched them out every day for fresh ones. He didn't touch them. Anyone know how I could get him to try them?

I don't know what you could do to entice him to eat them other than put them in a cup near his basking area so he don't have to go get them. They usually only hunt things that move. The mill worms should only be given occasionally as a treat if that isn't what you are already doing. Whether he eats the greens and fruits is entirely up to him I'm afraid. Try a red strawberry maybe the color will attract him. Not all veiled chams will eat this, a lot of times if they eat their leaves it's because they are thirsty. Good luck

Okay, Ill try leaving some strawberries in there, maybe as he gets older he will give it a try. Thanks!

I will suggest make a vegetable California sushi roll...just kidding
You can feed ur feeders with the nutritional vegetables n fruits that suitable for your cham needs (you can search that in the forum for GUTLOAD....maybe when the veiled gets older he will eat those vegetables n fruits cause he been getting those "bug juice" from the feeders that u been gutloaded with
