I was wondering if I need to give food to my bugs within a particular time before giving them to my chameleon. I didn’t think ahead and forgot to feed the bugs last night but today is Lenny’s feeding day. I gave the bugs about 4 hrs earlier, is it ok to just give him them now?
I noticed that my chameleon had his eyes closed during the day. It is about 6 and lights turn off at 7. He doesn’t seem to be fully sleeping because as soon as he heard me walk into the room he opened his eyes again. Which he doesn’t do around 9 when I go into the room to feed my hamster. Is...

Thank you so much! This helps a lot. I was wondering what website is your favorite for live insects. Right now all I have is superworms and hornworms and I definitely want to get him a better supply. But my local petco doesn’t carry much.
His enclosure is clearly not ideal. It is what came with him from the past owner. I just put in a branch and his first live plant today, but I don’t want to add too much that will stress him out more. Oh, and if you guys have any recommendations on where to get live bugs I would really...
