It would probably be more practical to just collect the eggs or larvae(or pay some kids to do so)and raise them to adulthood, rather than trying to feed the adults enough to breed in captivity. If you are able to breed them in captivity, please post your technique, in my experience, chams go absolutely nuts for them.

will do. yes i am trying to work with them i should have enough dragonfly and dampsle (horrbly spelled) fly larva to let me nail the recipe and i will post weather it is posible or not.

I was wondering if anyone has tried phoenix worms and how did your cham take to them?

Itzli · #24 02-09-2007, 04:25 PM

I have 2 Jacksons and a Panther. I feed them one feeder species a day, but their diet varries through out the week.

Super worms
crickets
silkworms
hornworms

Went to a pet shop and they were feeding a Veiled pinky mice. I did not know if this was okay. Have any of you heard of this and is it ok.

Well I have pheonix worms and they say they are high in calcium, but my cham ignores them really maybe not now, but hopefully in the future she will get more interested. I have some that are going to go to waste, wish I knew someone in nyc to give them to.

I have heard of chameleons being fed pinky mice, but never attempted it myself. Was going to try it out but read something that said they have to high a fat content. I heard they were good for females who just layed eggs and needed to regain there wieght.

I would think that they could eat a pinky pretty easy.

It is things like this why veileds are not welcome in Hawaii.

Jordan, that pic is freaky! I knew bullfrogs would eat small birds, but not chams...

I have a hard time finding stuff small enough for my brevs, other than crix. I have some silkies coming in the next couple of days, but the brevs haven't looked twice at the phoenix worms (luckily the frog and gecko did). All the other worms tend to be too big. I definitely feel like they don't get enough variety, but I do try to gutload the crickets well.

I've got an abundance of brown anole lizards in my yard. As they are not native and are invasive, I would have no qualms feeding some off.
Should I feed a small one to my 9" veiled? It seem they would be an excellent
source of protein and calcium.
