I posted about my first veiled chameleon that I bought a couple of weeks ago in the general discussion. I forgot to ask the amount that I should be feeding him/ her...? The pet store offered very minimal care info. They said they were giving 3-4 crickets a day. I had to go in there today for plain calcium without D3, and I asked the age of my chameleon..... they just said very young, just "weaned".....lol. Don't think that mama chameleon was nursing her babies, but then again, I am new to them... still, I don't think they nurse????
Anyway, with all that I am reading about things like how fast they grow, and that supposedly they are always hungry.... am I giving him enough? I give him three very small crickets each morning. Should I try giving him more? The tank (yes, I know that's bad but we will be building a screen enclosure soon), has a lot of plants, twigs, etc. And there are paper towels on the bottom. But as far as I can tell, he is eating all three each day....
Please help me with the amount to feed.... I am worried I am not giving him enough.
Thanks!
