For the pastfew days I've had my 2.5 month chameleon who has been greatly eating 15-12 crickets a day. Yesterday was the the first time I treated him with 2silkworms ontop of the 12 crickets. Unfortunately today he has not really been interested in crickets or the worms. Only 2 crickets have been eaten. Is this ok? Appreciate all feedback.
only two crickets?

I used to get this with my Yemens. Whenever I fed them some waxworms as a treat (probably once a month), they would refuse locust or crickets for a few days, but still readily take the worms if offered.
After being suckered into this a few times, I grew up and realised that it was a bit like kids with sweets (candy)!
Shouldn't be full up from the silkies, so I would suspect its a similar thing with your cham.
I would still monitor food intake for the next couple of days though to be on the safe side.
