Few questions about feeding

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.

For reference: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

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

Thanks :D

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.
