Hello everyone. Just got an 11 month old Panther, and I see people have set variety schedules for feeding. Any advice? I have been offering crickets that I gut load and superworms. New to Chameleons and looking for tips and advice.

Thanks in advance!

Hello and good luck with your new chameleon :) I feed my chameleons 4x a week with 3 of those 4 days consisting of there staple diet dubia roaches. And on the 4th day I give them a variety of crickets,supers,hornworms,etc. So basically Mon,Wed,Fri I feed roaches and Sunday I feed crickets/worms.

With my Cham roughly 11 months old (i was told) what size dubias? Are they much better nutritionally? How many would I offer at a time? Can I put some in and leave them in all day while i am at work?

I would need a picture of your chameleon to see what size is best but I usually offer medium to large nymphs. Yes they are much nutritional and I offer 4-6 at a time. And your last question, yes you can leave some inside but inside a feeder dish because sometimes when let around the enclosure they will usually hide and not move. I have yet to hear of an incident of a roach chewing on a chameleon like a cricket would but better to be safe yo leave them in a dish

So look at the width between the eyes and compare that to the width of the dubias?
