feeding babies

[Dainty44]

i was just wondering if you can feed babies small mealworms . I dont have any females and am not sure if i should get some

i can't imagine any spp of cham being big enough to consume meal worms. i could be wrong.

do you have another food source for the babies right now? fruit flies and dust/pin crix are the common food.

no babies just a question

Yes, you can feed tiny baby mealworms to baby chameleons. I certainly did (I looked for recently molted ones and had to use a magnifying glass to see them and my fingernails to grab them). But because mealworms are hard to digest and provide little if any nutritional value, I wouldnt recommend using many mealworms in the diet of any chameleon, baby or adult.
