How many crix does a Vieled eat per week?

You should also try mixing up their diet, with mealworms, a silkworm once awhile, and when they get to full size they can even take a pinky

Mealworms should be fed scarcely to babies. They have a high level of chitin and are hard for young chameleons to digest. Also pinkies should be fed as a treat only.

also if you want to get them to eat mealies or silk worms make sure they start young, really young or else they wont eat it when they grow up

Where did you hear this from? From my experience, this is not true.

the only thing i notice when it comes to silks is that on the first bit they are kinda suprised and dont always take it but when u continue feeding they love them... As for mealies i do notice that some chams love them more then others...

Interesting, I have never heard that before.

My panthers were around 4 years old before I got the first silkworms which they ate like candy. Same with roaches - they were around 2 before they saw the first ones. I've never had trouble introducing new foods to 'older' panthers nor jacksons. Maybe the pickiness is more the exception than the rule.
