thes abosolute best feeder for them and even for baby chams of other species are termites....they chucked full of protein and other good stuff. cultureing them is easy and is the easiest feeder to breed once a queen is found.

thanks but um should i just drop those little bugs into the tank cause hes very slow and hes in a ten gallon tank so theres lots of room i dont think he'll find something fast enough

I would try Hydei flies. Depending on size, you could try small silkworms, small roaches, pretty much anything a bigger chameleon will eat but smaller. Mine eat about 40% crickets, 30% Hydei flies and 30% silkworms. If you are worried about Hydei flies or roaches escaping, get some bug boundary or bug stop and paint a thin line (1/2 inch) around the very top of the cage (out of view) and it'll keep them from getting out.
