How often to offer fruits and veggies?

[ICu35]

How often should I offer fruits and veggies to our 9 month old male vield? Yesterday was the first time Rococo ate any fruit , it was a raspberry stuck on one of the branches of his schefflera. He went to eat it right away.

I was wondering how often do to give him fruits and how often veggies and in what quantities?

I would like to know what other where doing with their fruit a veggie feeding regiment. Any information on feeding strategies would be of great assistance.

Some would say daily, some would say weekly, some would say veggies more often than fruit.
I say so long as insects are the primary food source, leave the amount of direct veggie intake up to the chameleon.

I give mine veggies almost every day. It's extra hydration and nutrients so I don't see any reason not to. But insects should be the primary diet like sandra said. George doesn't like fruit so I can't help you there.

No need to cook, and keep the pieces bite sized.......

If you cook em... Don't you loose all the nutrients and stuff from the veggies?

You do loose a lot of nutrients but like I said I just didn't want her to choke because she is so tiny.. Are there any fruits or veggies I shouldn't feed her? Or are there certain ones that are better for her?

Wait until your little one is a couple months older.

I feed fruits and veggies about once a week. I cut them into tiny slivers and either had feed or bowl feed (some will not eat it from the bowl). Fruits are sweet so if you want to feed more than once a week I recommend feeding more veggies than fruits.

So should she just be eating crickets right now then?

and fruit flies and small other things (like very small roach nymphs, small mealworms, really small silkworms, ...)
