Chameleons are insectivores and should only be feed live bugs that have been gutloaded and supplemented. When planning out your chameleon’s diet you need to make sure you include lots of variety, as well as making sure you are feeding them nutritious bugs. Some healthy bugs you can feed on a regular basis include crickets, dubia roaches, silkworms, black soldier fly larvae, locusts, red runner roaches, black soldier flies, blue bottle flies, hawkmoths, silk moths, wax moths, etc. Some bugs that are great to feed to your chameleon as an occasional treat would be: superworms, hornworms, wax worms, and mealworms. You will want to avoid feeding your chameleon things like butterworms, earth worms, spiders, fruits & veggies, freeze dried bugs, and bugs from outside.

Buying bugs online is usually cheaper, offers more variety, and are typically healthier bugs for your chameleon. Here are some places I’ve shopped at and recommend:

Josh’s Frogs — They have the most variety of bugs
