You said..."Just hatched some baby veiled chameleons, which are now about a week--to a week and a half old, and i just had some concerns about how many crickets that they usually consume in a day"...I feed them as many as they can eat in a couple of minutes at each feeding until they are several months old.

You said..."is it normal for the babies to not have their eyes open all the way. A few of the hatchling are almot a week old and still havn't got their eyes open"...no, its not normal. They should have their eyes open.

You said.."what can i do or what is the reason for this?"...I can't give you a definite answer about that. It might have to do with vitamin A levels...but I can't be sure. Hopefully someone else will comment on this.

You said..."And how many days can a hatchling go before it starts to eat?"...I have found that most of them eat in the first couple of days...but it depends on how much yolk was left over when they hatched.
