how much should he eat?

[kiwi3333]

I got my panther chameleon in October and he was eating quite a few crickets but now he's really cut down. He's eating around 10 a day, i'm giving him all he will eat i was just wondering if this was a normal amount because i though little ones eat a lot and he seems to not eat very much. we leave some caliworms in there all the time just so he always has food but he never touches them.
Thanks for the help

ifhes eating 10 a day, hes still doing fine.

while babies should eat 10-20 a day, not all do.

my male veiled barely ate 8 bugs a day, and on occasion hed go a day without eating at all at that age.

I have two male panthers. One normally eats 20-30 per day (approx 5 months old) and the other is good if he eats 10 per day (approx 4 months old).
As long as they can eat as much as they want, especially at these ages, that's fine. Your boy is good...

***edit- this is based on crix. If they eat a horn, silk, super, etc., this obviously changes the amount of crix consumed per day...
