Will my new veiled chameleon eat herbivore reptile diet pellets?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I just bought herbivorous reptile entrée fortified daily diet for my new veiled chameleon, I just bought the chameleon a few days ago and was wondering if it would eat this, before I open the package in case I need to return. I don't know much so far about veiled chameleons so I would greatly appreciate any information given about this.

Veiled chameleons have been known to occasionally eat vegetables and greens but they are mainly insectivores. It may eat the pellets or not. The only way to find out would be to offer some in a cup. Leafy greens, berries, sliced fruit and veggies may be easier to offer.
