That maye be possible with the large crickets. To have ingested the mesh. I don't think there would be enough inside a cricket to harm a chameleon, but there is still that small chance right...? And if that was the danger, then all these plastic plants and vines that we use have the same danger and same potential to harm the chameleons. Even the plastic cups we put in caves could be potentially chewed and cricket ingested.



I use both real and fake plants. Exo terra vines and treated driftwood.



Also, another way of keeping your crickets healthy while they are in the enclosue is to put a margerine lid, with a lettuce leaf flattened over it for the crickets to much on. They wont be hungry enough to chew on the mesh. And they should proove much more nutritous than a starving cricket.



If you keep krickets in cups rather than free range. Rip up a small peive of lettuce and sprinkle Tiny bits in the cup for crickets to much on, rather than starving and killing themselves or drying out.
