Fruits and veggies for veileds

[Alex001]

I have a two month old male veiled chameleon and I was wondering what kind of fruits and veggies I can give him. Do I need to get organic or can I get the cheaper nonorganic fruits and veggies and how should I prepare them for him.

I think you'll find, overall, that it is more important to feed your feeders the good stuff. Make sure they are properly gut-loaded and then your cham will reap the benefits.

You can offer your cham items in the feeder bowl, chopped up or clip leaves/greans to the vines so they can much, if they want to. Ideas from @kinyonga "dandelion greens, escarole, endive, collards, thin slices of squash, zucchini, sweet potato, sweet red pepper, slivers of carrot, and once in a while a thin slice of apple, pear, melon or berries"
