I will be getting a 2-3 moth old veiled chameleon and I wanted to know if the gutloading supplements from pet stores like flukers high calcium cricket feed is any good?

How many times a day should I feed my chameleon?
and
what is the best brand of calcium and multivitamins?
thanks

You're far better off making your own gutload. Primarily fruits and vegetables.

I like repcal and minerall brands

I feed babies 3-5 times a day, about as much as they will eat within 5 minutes each time.

Also,
at 3 months chams can still be very fragile and if this is your first cham you might want to think about get one a couple months older?

I totally agree that for your first chameleon get a male and one about 5 or 6 months old.
