Yes there is, and you want to make sure you do. Chameleons, along with all reptiles, should be fed a wide variety of feeder insects and vegetable matter. For insects: crickets, mealworms, superworms, waxworms (be careful, these are very high in fat), silkworms (one of the best feeder insects), butterworms (also called teboworms), house flies, some will even eat earthworms. Wild caught insects can be used as well. If feeding wild caught insects, make sure they are from a pesticide free area. I feed my Veileds beetles and junebugs (one of their favourites). You will also want to offer them some vegetable greens. Some will eat the greens, some will not. It is worthwhile to find out though. Keeping live plants in the habitat is also a good idea, as some Chameleons will taste these. Make sure they are non-toxic however. Hope this helps!
