Nutrition?

[Andrew27]

I really want to boost up my chameleons nutrition and give her good meals. Because a previous error was I did not do a great job gutloading her insects and maybe that is why she doesnt have a huge appetite. I thought maybe if I get her to eat just a few good gut loaded insects, she would be more healthy. I am going to order King Kricket Feast tomorrow, but in the meantime, I am gutloading my crickets with fresh fruit and veggies. I am using apple, carrot, cellery leaves, turnip greens, and more as I continue doing research. Are these fruits and veggies ok to use for tonight? And what is a good gutload to feed waxworms?

Yes, everything you are doing is ok, but could be improved with just a little work.
Here's a great gutload link - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/75-feeder-nutrition-gutloading.html

You maybe saw that one already, but it's the best.
Waxworms are not a great feeder for a few reasons. They are very fatty and should be a very rare treat. I don't know what they'll eat tbh. Here is some feeder info. - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/74-feeders.html

good start! check out the links David provided for some more ideas.

I agree that waxworms arent a great choice, but you can feed them a little bran with honey if you want (not that this adds much value)
