Hi. Yes, veileds can/will eat fruits and other plant matter, but it doesn’t mean that they should. We can’t stop them from eating their enclosure plants and no one is really quite certain why exactly they do that. However, they do lack the ability to properly digest plant matter. Plus, the sugars from fruit aren’t very good for them. I understand you’re in a bind right now, but you need to get your girl some good bugs asap. I think it’s safe to say that there are few to no places in the world where we aren’t always at risk of weather making us not being able to access live food for our chameleons. After the first time I had trouble was when i set up a small roach colony so that i will never run out again. Although not really decent staple feeders, when you see that bad weather may be approaching, you can always get some mealworms to keep as back up in the fridge. They keep for at least a few weeks. Other feeders like bsfl, if you get them at a small to medium size will also last quite some time at room temp. If you can order a few hundred on line, they’ll keep for quite a while.
Your chameleon will need vitamin D3 2x a month. I give mine on the 1st and 15th of each month.
