Panther Feeding

[Mark7616]

I am kind of worried about my panther chameleon. He is approx 9-10 weeks old and im not sure about his feeding regime. The breeder I purchased him from said to have about 20 or so small crickets in its enclosure so he can just eat them. Now the first time I did this they went down over a couple of days and it was pooing quiet frequently now they do not seem to go down as quick but they also "piss" him off as they are always climbing on him etc which I believe stresses him out. I dust the crickets in T-rex chameleon dust is there a better way for me to be feeding him? Are the crickets annoying him? Please help I want to make sure I do everything perfectly. Also how many crickets should he be eating a day I keep reading about 10-15 crickets a day I recon mine would be eating about 2. Here is a couple of pics of him right now is he looking healthy to you guys?

This is where the bugs tend to sit when he goes up to bask they climb all over him????

Awww! What an 'ickle sweetie! Those crickets look quite big to me. Maybe there are too many for him to cope with at once. I know Lily hates it when locusts climb on her - she tries her hardest to get away from them . Have you tried cup feeding just a few feeders at a time? Maybe he won't find that so overwhelming.

Crickets are a little big for him. Smaller crickets won't be as intimidating.
