Thought I would share.

I used my camera on my phone to record Moe munching down on some crickets the other day. I thought I'd share it with you all. He's 6-7 months old right now and eats like a pig.

Yeah, I don't understand why he get's that way. I feed him 10 crickets a day. You would think that would be enough. After he munches them down he still hunts for a while. I'm going to be trying to re introduce him to worms again to see if he'll take to them now that he is a little older.

Last night I ordered some silkworms, butterworms, and hornworms (along with his favorite crickets) from Mulberry Farms. Anybody have any suggestions on how to try and get him to eat them? Last time I fed him butterworms and silkworms he would ignore them and even go on a hunger strike until I put crickets in his cage. I have never tried hornworms. I'm hoping that if I only put four or five crickets in his cage he will be hungry enough and go ahead and eat the worms. I'm open for suggestions though. I wanted to get him a good variety of food and would love if they don't go to waste.

Also, has anybody fed their chameleon the butterfly's that they sell? Painted Lady's I believe? Would you say they are more for your older chameleons? The only things I refuse to bring in the house are roaches, spiders, and any worm that resembles maggots.
