Cricket Size Recommendation

[BKFritz]

Hey! Well, I think I am almost ready to make the BIG purchase! The cage is ready, the misting system is in the mail, bug keeper is getting set up today, t's dotted, i's crossed...I think I will order my new guy on Monday!! I want to order crickets (and maybe a few dubias to try) today so I can get them good and gut loaded before he gets here.

What size crickets and dubias would a person order to feed a 2-3 month old veiled chameleon? I would guess 1/4 inch but I'm not sure.

I used 3/8ths when I first got my panther at about 3 months old.

You also only need to gut load 24 hours before the are fed to the cham.

Yeah, that's why I figured I'd order them today while I'm thinking about it. If i order tomorrow before 1 p.m. they would be here Friday, but the likely hood of me remember to do it before then is slim to none I have some serious brain fog this week! If I don't order them by Thursday 1 p.m., they won't ship until Monday (I think...right).

The rule is food no bigger than the space between their eyes
