    Flapneck Eating leaves?

    Do flapnecks eat greens? Or are they strictly insectivores? There are what looks to be bite marks out of some of the leaves of my plants. I was under the impression that they didn't eat greenery?

    How to get him to cup feed?

    Ivan is a 5 inch flapneck chameleon. He will only eat crickets so far, I've had him for I dunno, a month maybe. Anyway, he will only free feed and its kind of annoying because it makes it difficult to know how much he is eating. He doesn't like to eat in front of me, so I put a few crickets...

    How do I teach my flapneck to either eat out of my hand or out of a cup? Do I just only offer food that way and eventually he will get hungry enough to eat it? I keep superworms in a shallow deli cup up in the branches, he has yet to eat any. He has only eaten crickets and only when I have...
