Green anoles are insectivorous. They will eat crickets, mealworms, waxworms, cockroaches, fruit flies and other small insects. All feeder insects should be properly gut-loaded prior to feeding. Offering a variety of different insects will offer the best diet for the anole since different insects have different nutritional values. Care should be used to not overfeed anoles and they should only be offered only as much food as they can eat in one sitting

Food:

Green anoles eat live food although I have heard of some that will lap up baby food or lick fruits. They tend to be attracted to insects that move more, such as crickets as opposed to mealworms or other slower creatures. I used to feed my anoles tiny mealworms but stopped as my anoles started living longer fed on pinhead or two week old crickets instead. Waxworms can be a great supplement to their diet but tend to have too much fat in them. Fruit flies are another great option. Crickets can be obtained pesticide free at the pet store and it seems to help anoles digest them better if they are fed a lot of small crickets as opposed to one or two large ones. http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Canopy/6352/careanoles.htm

it isn't likely. I actual have heard that some will. The freeze-dried sorts of insects that you should purchase at a puppy save in a jar will supply off an aroma even as they're moistened to help allure to the reptile to them. i attempted it with my infant gecko and it ate some yet extremely did not favor a lot to do with it. maximum reptiles do no longer have great eyesight and hunt on circulation of their prey. there is extremely in common words one thanks to make sure....in basic terms supply it a attempt
