Veiled chameleon 2/3 months old

Hi, so I was wondering when I can start feeding my chameleon different insects besides crickets!

 

[kinyonga]

You can start any time...just make sure they aren't too big for it!

Thank you! Also, I’ve had him for almost a week when can I start handling him to start a bond/trust

Instead of trying to handle him, why not try hand feeding him so he gets used to your hand first? Don't use tongs though...they can injure his tongue. Move slowly too!

That works! I actually just started doing that yesterday and he did it right away!
