NICOLE BRAG n behalf of Expert Village, I'm Nicole and I'm here to tell you about Veiled Chameleons. As far as your chameleon's diet goes, insects are going to make up the main part of its diet. This chameleon lives mainly off of meal worms, sometimes the occasional cricket. She does like to chase down her bugs. They also eat vegetation. Some things that you can put inside of your chameleon's cage as far as live plants go are ficus. If you look it up online, I'm sure you can find more edible live plants that you can put inside of your terrarium that not only look nice, but are good for the chameleon to munch on as well. Now, the chameleons need to be fed about once every other day. They don't need to eat on a daily basis. As far as supplements go adding to the food, you can add a vitamin supplement that will be very useful. You can just sprinkle them on top of the food that you do provide for your chameleon. Make sure that it provides Vitamin D if you don't provide a whole lot of UVB rays for your chameleon then a Vitamin D supplement is a good idea that will make up for what they're not getting through the UVB rays and allow it to absorb calcium and avoid some bone diseases that are often caused by lack of calcium intake.
