Best way to feed Cham.!!!

[emloveschami]

Hey!!! I have heared of many chameleon owners feeding there chameleons many different ways such as cup feeding, hand feeding, and simply just letting the food roam free in the cage. Which is the best way for when you get a new ( baby) chameleon. I would also like to know which chameleon is the easier or most preferred? I recently had a Veiled Chameleon but it didn't work out. Read my other question to find out why.( if interested) all answers are deeply appreciated!!! Thxs!

Most breeders so not cup feed their babies so the most important thing to do with a new baby chameleon is make sure he/she eats so most likely you will need to freerange feeders at first. After your new chameleon settles in then you can work on cut feeding. I like cup feeding and hand feeding the best so I can keep up with what everybody is eating.

I agree with the above^^. Using a mix of cup feeding for monitoring appetite and a few free roaming feeders for sport or enrichment is the best of both styles.

Thanks. Someone said in need to feed 10 to fifteen crickets a day to a baby chameleon is that true and how many for adults?
