Feeding.

[Jjfalk]

I feed Pasquale gut loaded crickets but when I put them in the cage they tend to all fall to the bottom and Pasquale doesn't go to the bottom so I wonder if he's eating enough.

You might try to keep the crickets in a box and adjust it somehow to the enclosure. Large enough that the crickets can't come out but not too large so your cam can easily see and eat them.

Hope I could help

Thanks for the advice. I put a container and it worked. He's eating from it.

Good! It took mine one feeding to get used to it.

Now I have a question about calcium supplements I dust the crickets with reptile calcium with d3 and I give them Zilla gut load cricket drink with calcium. Should I be doing both? The guy at the pet store told me. But I've been reading not to give d3 when there young. I also give lettuce, carrots, Apple, kale ect in the cricket keeper. So much to know

Use the calcium with d3 twice a month along with a multivitamin. Use calcium at every feeding. I believe the d3 is necessary to keep them healthy.

So I should only use this calcium with d3 twice a month?? I've been dusting daily And I should get a multivitamin as well. Wonder why my reptile guy didn't mention this? Do you still need a multivitamin if you are feeding them well.

Sometimes the reptile people don't always know as much about chameleons as we would expect. You should purchase a multivitamin, I believe a good one is reptivite (hopefully I spelled that right). In order to keep her healthy you don't want to over supplement or under supplement.
