my first cham

[Chris111384]

Hey,
i just got my first veiled cham a few days ago. The pet store didn't really inform me to well on his feeding habbits. They told me 3 crickets a day for now, but he's been eating more then that. about 5 crickets and 2 meal worms. is it possible my cham may over eat? he's just a baby, about as big as my thumb. i don't wanna hurt the little guy, i'm afraid i'll do something wrong.

Babies are "robust" eaters.....let him have his fill and once he ignores the food for say 5-10minutes, take the food out(feeding in a small dish is helpful for such little ones).

For a lil guy like Fear pointed out let him eat as much as he can. Try and get him to use a feeder cup if he isn't already. Also mealworms can be hard on lil guys. Try ordering some silkworms online, they are much healthier and a nice substitute for crickets so he won't get bored of his food.
