my 3 month old ambilobe Cham, he has been eating about 4 or 5 crykets a day, should I not or should I be feeding him that much?
 
At that age you should be feeding him as much as he wants. Make sure you are supplementing and gutloading properly also, because they grow so quickly, it's very important.
 
is that all he will eat or all you are offering to him?. I got my cham at 4 months and he ate anywhere from 12-20 crickets a day!
 
I am gut loading and also I make sure he alwase has crykets In his cup, but for some reason it seems like the crykets are not eating the gut load it's a blend of sweet potato apples orange and allot of good greens, or maby the crykets just eat a little at a time?
 
that sounds like a good gutload. Alot of people on the forum like cricketcrack. I forget who sells it. i think TikiTiki Reptiles but I might be wrong. I just do the greens and veggies and fruit. Have you ever checked your crickets at night? I notice they eat way more at night then in the day. I always have food in there all the time. Some people like to pull out whatever crickets they are going to feed and give food to them so you know they are fed before you feed your cham. I have also noticed now that my chameleon does not like crickets so much and they have gotten big(cause I have alot he has not eaten) that they eat way less. I imagine you have like 1/4 inch ones and they eat alot because they are growing!
