I have a female veiled chameleon, about 18 months old, who is a great eater except that she doesnt touch fruits or vegetables. She will wolf down any feeder insect, grub, worm, even thawed frozen mice but she doesnt ever touch the fruits and vegetables I place in her enclosure. Any advice?

It's not essential that she does.
What live plants are in her enclosure?
Hibiscus and pothos seem to be a favorite of female veileds.
Don't worry that she's not eating plant material. There is a theory that they do this for moisture, if she is well hydrated she may not care to nibble leaves.

neccessity of fruits and veggies ?
fruits and veggies are probably more valuble as a feeder gutload than feeding directly to your cham, if they are interested in them , thats great , if not, thats ok too , either way be sure they are included in your gutload https://www.chameleonforums.com/supplementation-mbd-1-a-2451/ see post by mwheelock dvm
