Baby veiled chameleon eating habits

[aaron1245]

My baby veiled chameleon is a male said to be 2-3 months of age. He will only eat super worms, is this a big problem and can it be resolved?

What all have you tried feeding him?

He should be eating tons of Crickets....12 to 15 a day an some occasional very small superworms along with flies, Phoenix worms and other feeders.

Please post some photos of him.

If they are legal where you live (meaning not Florida, Canada, and a few other places) try getting some BABY dubia roaches, if not, try crickets, or locust. Try these out if you haven't already.

I've tried Dubai roaches, he won't eat them :/

Great, hope that your chameleon will start eating more, I don't think that it's too bad that he won't eat much other than superworms, though variety in a diet is key, as long as you use proper vitamin suppliments, I don't think it's too bad. But remember that it still is very important to try to provide a variety of foods.

The superworms were/are being dusted with calcium without D3.
