Ran out of food!

I just ran out of crickets! I ordered dubia and silkworms online but they won't be here until tuesday afternoon. I could try to go to the store today but I'm pretty sure my parents won't take me since relatives are coming into town. How long could they last without food?
 
My female veiled went for 10 days without eating when she was gravid. I don't think a couple of days without food would do a healthy chameleon much harm.
 
I think skipping a day or two every now and then is a good thing. It's more natural :) they might not get bugs every day in the wild! :)
 
What are you feeding?

What are you feeding? Adults can go two days no problem. If it's the baby in your Avatar I might be a bit concerned....
 
I didn't realise you have two baby chams! They can eat lot of food at that age. Best to try and get some more food if you can! Adults can skip a few days quite easily, but babies really should be fed every day.
 
Ok I fed my chameleons. I also got this flukers orange cube gutload. Is that good for my chameleon also if I feed it to my crickets and dubia? I also feed a mixture of fresh fruits and veggies.
 
I asked them when they'd ship and they said monday. I think usps is the only one that is closed, I mey be wrong.
