I was just wondering how many dubia I should be feeding in a day? Today he ate a bunch! And he was looking for more! I assume growing chameleons eat more than older chameleons? Should I be worried about over feeding?
 
I wouldn't worry about over feeding at all especially since he is a male. Feed him as much as he will eat in a 5 minute span 3 times a day if you can. Isabella at 5 and a half months would be eating around 25 small crickets a day lol but she is up to medium now and still eats around 10. So don't worry about it and let him eat like a piggy :D

Yeah it is a lot of fun, I really like doing it. You are lucky he is just going to town that early because it took a bit to get Isabella to eat out of my hand, idk if I could do it with Dubia like you do lol I use tongs for them :D

Yea man I can't believe he was handfeeding the day I got him in the mail! Just a testament to how healthy he was when I got him! The Kammer's are the BEST! haha I love my little guy!

Yeah like I said you hit the Jackpot on that one lol very surprising that he did that first thing. Not to mention he is very new to you. He may also have been extremely hungry :D
