Making Friends with Crickets

[mychamsrswellerthanurs]

My male veiled chameleon hasn't been eating crickets. Which have always been his favorite meal. He lets them crawl all over him now, and just straight up ignores them. Between worms and escaping, and crawling under my potted plants, and now his cricket friends, I have a full blown ecosystem. I'm just kind of curious if there's anything I can do to stop this, or if anyone else has experienced something like this.

Don't feed him till he cleans up his plate

You can monitor his feeding by placing items in a food cup, or feeder. Here's a link.

They stay in there for the most part and will cut down on roaming food items. Your first task though, is to get al the excess feeders out. Especially the crix, as I understand they can bite your little guy at night while he's sleeping.
