I think he's hungry

[Giovanni Stephenson]

So today was kinda funny, I left my cage open while playing games and forgot to feed token before playing games this is the first time it happen. So he climbs to the bottom of the cage I hear movement turn my head and his tounge is sticking out and he's walking where the door was opened then back by his feeding dish i jumped up thinking he some how caught something flying in my room but it was just him say feed my *** lol.

They do like to eat especially when they are young. How far was his tongue sticking out?

Now you know why that fly never landed on your tv screen. Your cham helped you out. Not all video games need to be 1 player.

And how many times should he be fed only once or twice cause I've been feeding him twice he's almost always hungry when he wakes so I give him 8 crickets and 2 meal worms then the same at dinner which is 5-6 sometime later but not after 9

How old is he? What kind of chameleon?

Almost 5 months old and he is a veiled Cham.

And if I feed him once it'll be 15 crickets at 12

Twice a day with those amounts would be ok until he's a little older then just once a day. I don't recommend feeding after 4:00 though. I would also recommend a larger variety of well gut loaded feeders. Meal worms aren't the best feeders for a chameleon. Try super worms, silkworm, butter worm, phoenix worms, horn worms and roches.

It's like $20 for 4 different feeders.

Thank you thank you so those worms are all ok for him to eat? cause I feel bad cause everyone on hear says that so I'm trying hard to switch I've been getting tips from my mom about how to care for them and I made this account cause I don't think what all she says is right lol so I'm figuring out that my bearded dragons are way easier to care for than the care for a chameleon but I like that I pay more detail to this guy
