It's not a dumb question at all! Little chams are eating machines and just because they TRY to eat something doesn't mean they SHOULD. Basically, you don't want to offer him anything larger than the width of his snout, especially if it has an exoskeleton like a crix. Soft bodied feeders like moths not as much of a problem unless they have spines on their legs. Actually, it's better to err on the smaller side anyway. More small feeders have more surface area to hold dusts and are easier for the cham to digest. One large meal takes more "processing" and there is a slightly higher chance that a leg or piece of exoskeleton gets stuck along the GI tract.
