Canned food and vegies

[mavl666]

Just wondering what kind of vegetables or fruits chams eat if any. I have heard they eat lettuce but I know it's not nutritous. Any comments welcomed.
Also, I have other lizards that eat canned silkworm, grasshoppers, etc. Will Cham's eat these or most it be live because of movement?

Thanks for the help

Insects must be live.
What kind of chameleon do you own?
Veileds will eat greens, etc.
We offer ours fresh collard greens (very nutritious and high in calcium)

At this point really not sure. Was told it's a Senegal when I purchased it. I posted pics in another thread and soem thought it was a Graceful.

Ah yes.
I saw those pictures.
This chameleon will most likely not eat any vegetative matter and certainly doesn't need it.

Brad, what kind do you think it is? I think a Graceful when comparing pics on the internet.

I think you're right.
The husbandry is quite similar to what you would provide for a veiled (except for offering greens etc.)
