eating problems

[hayleycole]

hello. I recently just got a jacksons chameleon on saturday. I have been giving him meal worms and crickets. he is eating the meal worms just fine but wont touch the crickets. i even put a cricket in the little meal worm bowl and he ate around the cricket. any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Try dubia roaches. They can't climb, they don't make noise, they don't die, and they DON'T STINK! They're also VERY nutritious for your chameleon. What's not to love? They're just like any other bug, although they can't bite like crickets can.

i did notice dubia roach shell in his poop.. but i really prefer to not have to deal with growing a colony of roaches and all that..
roaches still kinda freak me out.. :/
