Can veilds eat clementines?

[Veild Cham Owner]

Would they be to acidic or citrusy for my cham or any Cham to eat? We always have them so I was wondering if he would be able to eat them as a treat or small snack.

I would say limit the citrus snacks to a small piece and don't feed it too often. You mentioned it being acidic and the chameleon's stomach might have issues with that. Just continue to feed a staple bug diet and keep the fruits to a treat thing.

I use clementines as a water souce and gutload for my dubia, but I would think that the acidity would be too high for feeding much directly to a cham.

Ok thank you!! I usually use them for gutloading but before I give them to him I thought I would ask

My veiled chameleon absolutely LOVES sweet clementines I give him as a treat when he’s out of his enclosure. He knows for sure that when he’s out he’ll get some, he honestly devours it

Good idea to use for water source. But like you said not to often. Thanks for the info

I’d probably try to stick to using them for gut load Like someone above said they’re good hydration for your bugs as well
