How Much?

[Thor the chameleon]

How much should i be feeding a 2-3 month old veiled chameleon? I have both small and medium crickets. And how many times a day? Also have super worms but i know they can get addicted to them(So i read anyways).

When they are young, let them eat all they want!
They are growing so fast they need that food, once they mature up then you can slow down or you will end up with a fatty like me...

Oh really? All they want?! I read somewhere that you dont want them to grow too fast and shoulf feed babies 5-8 small sized crickets a day! That's why i joined this, wanted advice from people who have chameleons and not from a website that you don't know who is giving the info. And never taking advice from petco workers, most seemed confused and kept saying "to my knowledge ".

my 5 month old cham eats about 15 crickets every 2 days
i give him 5 extra just in case he is extra hungry : )
feel free to give them all they want or need

Well i went off of the website on 5-8 a day. Now i feel like i was starving him. I always thought he was a little skinny. That's why i asked here.
