Few questions about feeding

[Frostlord]

Hi guys I've just got a few quick questions about feeding my chameleon.
I'm sure they have been answered hundreds of times but I couldn't find anything helpful.

I included a picture of mine as a reference coz I cant remember how old he is.
He's a little bigger now than he is in the photo.

So first thing is how much should I be feeding my chameleon?
I have been giving him about 10-15 small/medium crickets a day, I feel like im overfeeding him, but he always seems hungry and eats as much as he can.

Second thing is, should I be feeding him everyday, coz I heard some people were saying they feed theirs every other day?

Any information would be greatly appreciated


This was taken a month or two ago so hes grown a bit since then

You're doing great!

The amount is fine and everyday is fine till they're older.

Just make sure you're dusting daily with calcium without D3. Calcium with D3 every two weeks and a multi-vit every two weeks.

Yeah I'm dusting them with calcium and D3, but this is the first I've heard about a multi vit.
Could you give me a bit more info about it?

Also how long till I start feeding him every other day?

From the link:

"Neonates: as many small crickets as they can eat several times a day
Juveniles 3-6 months of age: 10-12 small crickets daily
Juveniles 6-12 months of age: 10-12 medium crickets every other day
Adults over 12 months of age: 7-10 medium-large crickets every other day
"

These are general guidelines. Yours may eat more or less.

It' best you read the "caresheet" linked above.

I use Zoo Med Reptivite personally, it's just what I got a hold of. I believe some people use Repashy for example. Some have D3 already in them so you want to that into account.

Thanks mate, I completely missed the link that you posted. I'll give it a good read.
