They are babies until they are six months of age and then are considered juveniles. When they turn a year old, they\u2019re adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baby Chameleons are born on the go, knowing that predators are after them. But, unfortunately, their mother has no maternal instincts. So, once she lays her eggs, that\u2019s it. She no longer cares for her babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you can expect your Chameleon to be independent. Also, they\u2019re generally shy and solitary creatures. They\u2019re fun to have as pets, but if you\u2019re looking for a pet to cuddle with, a Chameleon won\u2019t be it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chameleons prefer to be alone rather than be held. Therefore, it\u2019s best not to house Chameleons with another Chameleon or another species. They may show aggression if they feel stressed or threatened, sometimes biting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a small Chameleon, they need a screened enclosure that\u2019s 16\u201d x 16\u201d x 20\u201d. A large Chameleon needs one that\u2019s at least 24\u201d x 24\u201d x 48\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A glass tank simply won\u2019t do since Chameleons love to climb and need plenty of ventilation. So, a screen-sided cage is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They need their tank to be room temperature, typically between 68 degrees F and 76 degrees F. You won\u2019t need multiple light bulbs for heat, but they do need a UVB bulb.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size will depend on their gender. For instance, fully grown male Chameleons may grow to be about 15 to 20 inches long, and females are typically between 10-18 inches long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hatchlings are about four inches long when they\u2019re first born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With excellent care, such as diet, Chameleons have a good lifespan. However, different species of Chameleons may live longers. For example, Veiled Chameleons have an average lifespan of about six to eight years, while a Jackson\u2019s Chameleon has a lifespan of about five to ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-what-do-baby-chameleons-eat-in-the-wild-strong\"><strong>What Do Baby Chameleons Eat In The Wild?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the wild, baby Chameleons will eat most things that they\u2019re able to hunt and catch. No matter where the Chameleon is, similar types of live food will be available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, baby Chameleons in the wild will eat the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Flies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crickets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Snails<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caterpillars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Agamas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diurnal Geckos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tree Climbing Rodents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small Birds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-best-baby-chameleon-food-what-to-feed-baby-chameleons-strong\"><strong>Best Baby Chameleon Food: What To Feed Baby Chameleons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best foods to feed a baby Chameleon are live food, such as insects. Crickets are the best option since they are packed with nutrients to help your baby Chameleon grow and develop properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to crickets, they should eat a wide range of other live insects, and they can also eat some fruits and veggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Watch this video: What Do Baby Chameleons Eat<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Do Baby Chameleons Eat?\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UGFI2CAYDLk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-what-is-a-healthy-baby-chameleon-diet-strong\"><strong>What Is A Healthy Baby Chameleon Diet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But what can Chameleons eat? A healthy diet for a baby Chameleon includes many different insects. For example, they can eat the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Crickets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silkworms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mealworms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waxworms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cockroaches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Locusts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hornworms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Butterworms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Chameleons are carnivores. However, some species, such as the Veiled Chameleon, will enjoy fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although, Chameleons can be picky with their food. So, some might enjoy dark leafy greens more than a slice of fruit. Regardless, fruits and veggies can add water content, extra flavor to their meal, and added vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-what-can-chameleons-not-eat-strong\"><strong>What Can Chameleons Not Eat?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chameleons are mostly carnivores, so they\u2019ll prefer to eat various insects. However, some species will enjoy some fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some fruits and vegetables that you\u2019ll want to keep away from them, though. For example, Chameleons should not eat the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cabbage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Figs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apricots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/can-chameleons-eat-lettuce\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1067\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5285\">Iceberg Lettuce<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spinach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These fruits and veggies are toxic to Chameleons and can make your reptile seriously sick if ingested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, some insects aren\u2019t safe for your Chameleon to eat. For example, you never want to feed them wild insects. Instead, it\u2019s best to go to your local pet store and buy feeder insects from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Catching wild insects could make your Chameleon sick. For instance, wild insects might carry pesticides or parasites since you don\u2019t know where they\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, some insects are known to be toxic to Chameleons. For example, ladybugs and glowing insects, such as fireflies, are toxic to reptiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-how-to-feed-a-baby-chameleon-strong\"><strong>How To Feed A Baby Chameleon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can feed your baby Chameleon using two different methods. The first method is free-range, and it\u2019s probably the best way to feed your baby Chameleon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-free-range-method\">The Free-Range Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a simple method: all you need is to put the live food inside their enclosure. Then, the baby Chameleon will chase and hunt the food down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, not only is your baby Chameleon eating, but they\u2019re also exercising and practicing their hunting skills, allowing enrichment within their terrarium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can place the insects in various areas of the tank. Instead of dropping them in one spot, place an insect or two on a rock and another on a tree branch and all over the tank. Your baby Chameleon will investigate slowly at first and then begin their hunt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do this, be sure only to place a few at a time to ensure your baby Chameleon can find and eat all of them. Then, once they\u2019re all eaten, you can add a few more until the feeding is over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-cup-feeding-method\">The Cup Feeding Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second method is the cup feeding method. Simply gets an eight-ounce cup (or 12-ounce or 24-ounce words as well) and place it into the tank. The point is that you don\u2019t want the crickets or other insects to jump or crawl out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cup should also be opaque so that your baby Chameleon doesn\u2019t get fooled by it being see-through. Otherwise, they might walk into the cup, knocking it over. Or they may try to get to the insects through the cup, thus injuring their tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are, your baby Chameleon will try to get to the insects from above. So, you can place the cup underneath a tree or their favorite climbing spot inside their enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, even though the insects shouldn\u2019t jump out of the cup, be sure to remove any insects that weren\u2019t eaten. Otherwise, on the chance they do jump out, they could bite your baby Chameleon in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cup is also a great method because you give your baby Chameleon supplements. For instance, you can sprinkle the supplement over the insects inside the cup without messing up the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list\">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1673750190544\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong>How Often Should You Feed A Baby Chameleon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>So, what do newborn Chameleons eat? Believe it or not, when a baby Chameleon first hatches, it won\u2019t need food for the first couple of days. This is because they\u2019ll have the yolk sac still attached to them. Also, you might notice that they stay in one spot inside their tank to get used to their surroundings. When they begin to move and explore their terrarium more, they\u2019re ready for food.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once you start feeding them, they\u2019ll need to eat two to three times every day. Each feeding should last about five minutes. As juveniles, between six months and a year, they can eat once a day for five minutes. Finally, when they become adults at a year old, they\u2019ll only need to eat about three times per week, each feeding lasting about five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/how-often-do-you-feed-a-chameleon\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1098\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5286\">Read my full guide to how often Chameleons should eat here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-how-much-should-you-feed-a-baby-chameleon-strong\"><strong>How Much Should You Feed A Baby Chameleon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things that you can feed baby Chameleons is crickets. However, you need to be careful about the size of crickets.

They grow rapidly as babies and need proper nutrients to develop and thrive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, most baby Chameleons do not make it past their first month due to poor care, including their diet. So, supplements are extra important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They need the following supplements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Vitamin A to support their vision and immune system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vitamin D3 to support bone development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vitamin E to support cell function and skin health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calcium to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/familyvet.co.za\/nutrition-and-health\/metabolic-bone-disease-in-reptiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/familyvet.co.za\/nutrition-and-health\/metabolic-bone-disease-in-reptiles\/\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5289\">metabolic bone disease<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-conclusion-strong\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what do you feed Chameleons?
