Anywhere between 12 and 18 insects of the appropriate size is good enough. Do this up until 6 months old where it reduces down to 10 a day then further still when they reach a year. Spread this amount of food for your baby chameleon over two feedings a day if possible, so 8 or so insects each feed.

How old do chameleons have to be to be left alone?
Leaving my adult chameleon was hard enough at times! The first time I left my chameleon alone was when he was around 18 months old and that was only for a couple of days. It will likely be ok a couple of months younger but I would strongly advise against leaving a chameleon alone for a few days if they’re less than a year old.
How long does it take for a veiled chameleon to hatch?
Depending on species, a female chameleon will lay eggs of around 20-40 per clutch. Some female veiled chameleons can lay clutches up to 200!

Again this is depending on species but this is the amount of time it takes for a baby veiled, panther and Jackson chameleon to hatch.
