Have just bought a 3 year old male veiled cham. He is eating 2-3 extra large locusts a day. Have tried him with crickets but he does'nt seem interested. Is he eating enough?!

adult males don't eat much at all, 2 / 3 large locust a day is fine.

My Loki is almost an adult and his feeding has slowed down, He never ever showed an interest in crickets but takes about 3-5 large locusts a day, having said that he would live on wax worms if I let him. In summer he has butterflies, moths, crane flies etc this time of year he gets the odd blue bottle, large mealworms but mainly locusts.
love Jan

Hi I did answer also but I think it was on the lizard thread. Got any pics of your cham, would be great to see him.
