Why didn't you put the cricket back in with the rest of the ones you bought? I have crickets running around my enclosure all the time and I have never noticed a bite on my cham. I have heard in the past that a cham has been bitten, but it's unusual. You only feed your cham one cricket at a time? What kind of cham do you have, and how old is he or she? What is your setup? Do you gutload the crickets and dust with supplements?

Well, that's true, crickets can nibble on the chams at night, especially the bigger crix. It's because the chameleon is asleep and vulnerable and I'm pretty sure crickets don't even sleep .

Maybe you can fill this out along with some pics?
