Can a panther chameleon eat canned food or dead insects?

Canned food: Canned food is often not nutritionally balanced for panther chameleons, and can contain harmful preservatives. Canned food can also lead to obesity and other health problems in chameleons.

Dead insects: Dead insects are not a natural food for panther chameleons, and can also be harmful to them. Dead insects can carry parasites and bacteria that can make chameleons sick. In addition, dead insects are often not as nutritious as live insects.

It is important to feed your panther chameleon a varied diet of live feeder insects, such as crickets, dubia roaches, mealworms, and waxworms. These insects should be gut-loaded with a nutritious diet before feeding them to your chameleon.
