Depends on how old your cham is and how big the crickets are. 
I feed my adult male veiled 6-10 large crickets every other day.

If your cham is about 3 inches long it should have Atleast 10 crickets a day. Mine eats a lot! Mine is 3 and 1/2 months and is 3 inches long.. But as they get bigger they eat less.. So yah sorry lol

What do you mean as they get bigger they eat less? I've only seen appetites grow. You should limit how much they eat once they're adults. As babies you should give them as many as they can eat.

Yeah, the reason being the growth period of small chams, with the obesity chance of adult chams. Lol it's unheard of to see an obese baby cham

Juveniles eat a lot more.

Not exactly. They SHOULD eat a lot more, because they grow so fast. But an adult cham could easily ingest 50+ large crickets, which is why you want to feed in smaller amounts.

Ugh.. My statement was misinterpreted earlier. What I meant to say is like juveniles shouldnt have a limit to what they eat..

so baby cham can only eat like 5 or 6 a day
No, feed that baby as much as it will eat!! Typically 15-25 small feeders a day.

Baby Chams are supposed to be offered as much food as possible/ no limit until they stop eating so they get as nic nutrition as possible to aid growing and then.. When they're adult you limit their food quantity like 7-10 crickets every other day to avoid getting fat.. Because they're finished growin so it would be stored as fat what wasn't used. Like us.. Do you understand now? If you chameleon is a juvenile (not an adult) don't limit it's food. If you're feeding crickets put like 7 In there and then If he/she eats them all after a while (same day) put like 4 or 5 more in there..
