Feeding question?

[Vpetit13]

How many or how much should a baby panther chameleon 7-8 weeks old be eating ?

I've seen both of my chams eat just not sure if there getting enough

The crickets keep escaping and the fruit flys are hard for them to find

 

[Chameleonmaster]

I sure if their size appropriate, about 8-10 crickets daily.

 

[Vpetit13]

They are super tiny about an inch maybe inch and a half long

 

[Chameleonmaster]

They couldn't be an inch maybe 1/8 of an inch

 

[Vpetit13]

This is the male

This is we're you can see pictures of both

Ohhhh my mistake I thought you meant you were feeding them crickets an inch long sorry my mistake

 

[Vpetit13]

Lol it's okay, so for that size Cham you saw in the picture how much should they be eating ?

I've seen them eat fruit flys but no crickets

The crickets seem to stay at the bottom so they don't see them
Any ideas to fix this, I just want to make sure they are eating enough

Fruit flys I would put in 2 times a day and crickets you could try and cup feed or try putting them on the screen of the cage.

 

[Chameleonmaster]

They should be fed as much as they want till they get a little bigger.

Ok thanks for all your help ive been putting fruit flys twice a day and I'm going to try the cup feeding , what type of cup should I use ?

 

[Vpetit13]

I've been putting a lot of fruit flys just to make sure they are getting enough so hopefully that's working

 

[Chameleonmaster]

I use just regular plastic cups whenever I do.

I think you chameleons are just fine with the fruit flys and crickets.
