My chameleon is pretty young and i dontk now her age... I bought crickets but she does not even touch her food, maybe they are too big? whenever i open the cage crickets just start jumping out and its really annoying, should i start feeding it meal worms? If i do, is it ok if i feed it meal worms only?

The crickets should not be any bigger then length between her eyes. That's usually the rule of thumb! And about 8-12 crickets is a good amount for when there babies. When they get older you will want to cut back.
How often do you feed your chameleon? And how many are you putting in there if there always jumping out of the cage?

Josh don't feed mill worms except as a treat. I would suggest you take a look at the care sheets. they were put together from members with years of experience, and will help you a great deal in the husbandry of your new friend. Good luck, and welcome to the chameleon obsession. I'll leave you a link:https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

Try to spice up her diet with as much as possible at a young age(don't stop as she's older) but that's what I did cause she only ate crickets but now she is older and comes to me and waits on me for food she eats many other things. I hate crickets and that's all she would eat and now I don't have anymore. She eats silkworms and a couple different roach species as a staple and lots of other treats. As she got use to me and her surroundings she opened up more and more to anything moving!

Feed a variety of things and meal worms not very often I'd say less than 2 a week
