What should feed and how much of it

[QuinnieLeeBlu]

What should i feed my panther chameleon and how much should i feed he is 5 months old. i’m getting him soon and kinda stressed!

At that age you can feed makes as much as they can eat in a couple of minutes at each feeding as long as they are not getting fat. In another month or so you will want to start feeding every second day.

Feed him roaches, crickets, locusts, etc that are a good size to fit into his mouth. You can feed him BSFL and small silkworms and hornworms. You can feed him superworms, waxworms for treats once in a while.

Hi! so i have a male veiled chameleon I'm not sure on his exact age but I think he is about a year old and ive been researching a lot the past couple of days because I just learned he needs more in his diet so I was wondering if this diet for him sounds ok?

7 crickets every other day
1 horn worm every 2 days
4 silk worms a day
2 super worms a day
5 Dubai's roaches every other day but skip the weekend

I mail order dubia roaches! Super clean and very hardy insects -- highly recommend. Crickets in my opinion are annoying because they die so quickly and they are harder to control.

Adults should only have a few food items or they can develop obesity. They usually eat a few items every other day or every two days here’s a link to help you out. https://chameleonacademy.com/basics-feeding-chameleons/

Try other roaches, too (along with other types of feeders)! My chams loved red runners! @jamest0o0 has a huge collection of feeders available!

That is too much food. Have you checked out The Chameleon Academy? Here is their veiled info (which is the most accurate and up-to-date!):

Also, starting your own thread would be great and get more responses, as well.

ok thank you! i am lowering it.

 

[ERKleRose]

so what do you feed your cham in a day im just trying some new things and trying to find the perfect diet for my cham.

Both my chams passed away last year, but I fed them waxworm moths, silkworm moths, painted lady butterflies, the rare cricket, BSFL and BSF, blue bottle flies, the occasional butterworm, hornworms, silkworms, the occasional superworm, a rare waxworm, red runner roaches, dubia roaches, orange-headed roaches, ivory-headed roaches, the occasional green banana roach, and more. The more variety, the better! I also have captive-bred grasshoppers for my new cham. I’ll also be getting stick insects, mantids, and more roach varieties, and them some, as well

5 crickets every other day
1 horn worm every 2 days
4 Dubai's roaches every other day but skip the weekend
and then i will switch some of those out with silk worms and other insects a couple times a month
