food amount?

[Cham Mik]

im curious how much does hour chameleons eat? Mine varys.
Mik is 10 months old for a long while around 3 months he was just eating 1-2 bugs a day. The last few weeks he has been eatkng 3-8 a day.
He doesn't like crickets favours locust roach warms, snails, flies
He does has a small couple pieces of greens once a day.
I gut load my bugs with bug grub greens and jelly pots
Any tips greatly appreciated

Did you have a fecal done when he had reduced his eating?

At ten months I would kick him to 5 feeders every other day then when he hits 12 months he should have 3 feeders every other day.

So it should be every other day... they start putting on weight rather then using the food for growth. Fat Chams have very bad health issues and getting them to lose weight is not easy. That link I gave you will give you specifics for your Veiled there is a husbandry program as well where you can learn a ton.
