Can you feed your Cham too much?

I just received my new panther chameleon and he is about 3 months old. I was wondering how much to feed him. He has been eating 1/4 inch crickets and flightless fruit flies.

3 month old panthers can eat a lot. We used to put fruit flies in Rufus' house in the mornings to stimulate his appetite, and then feed him 7-10 small crix a day with about 2 days a week with only a couple or none at all.

Congrats on your new baby!!!!

feed as much as he will eat within about 5 minutes, about three times a day. Its hard to overfeed little ones, though you dont really want them to grow too too fast in to short a time.
