feeding different foods.

[troncat]

i have a two month old panther chameleon, ive had him for a week, ive been feeding him pin head crickets, but i havent seen him eat anything and i want to try new types of food, i was thinking fruitflies? are flightless fruitflies a good alternative?
Thankd for your help.

so are you saying he has not eaten in a week or you have not seen him eaten? I mean, are the crickets missing?

Yes, flightless fruit-flies are a good option up until about the 3rd or 4th month of age (after which they are too small to be very useful)

Are you saying your young chameleon hasnt eaten anything in a week? does it drink?

A two month old animal should be eating quite a lot of small crickets, fruit flies and other small feeders (like small silkworms, tiny superworms, small terrestrial isopods, small indian walking sticks, grain moths, cockroach nymphs, soldier fly maggots, etc) daily
