Jackson Chameleon Diet

[webghost]

Hi all,

I know Veiled chameleons eat fruits/vegetables but what about Jacksons? Do they eat stuff other than insects?

Thanks

Hi guys! Ok... Im new with chams only been at it like 3 weeks. And i only own a jackson. Well he was feeded only crikets at petsmart when i got him. Now i placed a super (the ocacional only) and he dosnt eat it!! I think he likes more crikets cuz they move around a lot and enjoys running trough the cage to hunt them... He even waits for them to run to get to them and catch them Im waiting for silkworms to hatch and grow a bit to try and feed him. Any tips on how to get him to eat superworms? Should i starve him for a day and then place a super... His only eaten one on saturday. His only 5-6 months old. Oh and btw i think they only eat insects XD

I have caught my jacksons munching on hybiscus flowers in the past, usually the red colored blooms. I keep a miniature hybiscus in their enclosures.

they love habiscus flowers, a lot of chams do, they are very sweet, and seeing how most jacksons can be found in hawaii (even tho they werent origionally from there) they took a liking to the flowers also, any types of insects. there are videos of them eating snails too! they're ultimate favorite is blue bottle flies
