You can buy small silk, horn and butter worms.

& could i let them roam around the bottom of my enclosure? or get a tub for him to eat out of?

Get a tub, or hand feed them. I wouldn't let them crawl around the bottom of the enclosure.

I personality won't let any feeder roaming on the bottom of the enclosure on poop and stuff.. My suggestion is go for a feeding cup.

If you have the time and your Cham has a healthy enough apatite. I would monitor everything i feed them (then take out whatever is not eaten).

I have personally witnessed every feeder eaten by all 3 of my Chams. When i just got into the hobby i kept a journal of what i would feed and how many they ate, what they liked, what they didn't etc. I made feeding changed based on this. Every Cham will differ.

But to answer your questions. I would feed (or try to feed) anything that they can safely eat. (appropriate sized Crickets,superworms, hornworms, silk worms,B.Dubia roaches, Phoenix worms, etc). This way they are exposed to eating a varity of feeders and won't be as shy to try something new. They will trust that you won't put anything funky in there for them to eat.

My panther was eating over 20 3/8 inch crickets a day at that age. He didn't have any problems at all either. Every chameleon is different I suppose, so just try things out.

he can buy these, but if you find any mealworms, or super worms those are good to, for babies i don't recommend goliath worms, my adult cham loves them but even she has a hard time gulping them down!!
