Every Day Feeding and feeding and more feeding

[Balizar]

OK so I have 8 chams and i get tired of dumping criks everyday. Is there a way to at least do it every other? Most of the chams if I give them 15 20 they eat all of them within hours. I also hand feed the bigger ones s/worms anywhere from 3 to 6 a day. I will keep feeding (and not overfeeding) but just trying to find an easier way if anyone knows one? I have misters for all eight and that was a relief!!!!

Depending on the age of your chameleons you can totally start feeding every other day or every two days (how old are they?) Older juvies and adults don't need to eat every day, they can just eat a few more items fewer times a week.

15-20 at every feeding might be a lot of food, depending on their ages.

What size crickets are you feeding and how big are the chams? You might be able to get some bigger crickets if your chams are big enough.

I thought by putting 15 to 20 in they would get full and stop eating. But they just keep hunting. Their ages range from 2 years my oldest the rest are a year down to the youngest at 4 months. I do give them criks of appropriate size for their size. Now I do have 2 of them that will just eat 8, 9 cricks and a meal worm. I was not aware that they could be fed every other day. Its just the every day hunt and dump I am looking to get around.

For my adults, 1+ years, I feed them 3-4 times a week. They all continue to maintain and gain weight over time.
