How many and where you find the time???

Hey all...

How many chams do you have and if you have more than 3 how do you find the time to take care of them. I personally have 7 and its a hand -full around football and school. i go threw about 1,000 crickets in like 3 weeks
betweeen escapees and death. Im not trying to say i have unhealthy chams by any means, all my chams are all healthy more or less active and hydrated.
SOOO if you have alot of chams how may and how do you find time to care for these awsome little guys??

It takes alot of time if everything is done properly.I have close to 50 chameleons and they are at my business so It makes it a little easier to make my rounds of feeding,cleaning,etc. You get what you put in, like anything else. Snakes are much easier!

Thumbs up

This is such an important question to pose to everyone who keeps animals in their home.

It takes ALOT of time, money and energy to take care of pets correctly.

Although I have only one cham, I also have 2 senior dogs, a bunny, and a parrot. Each have to be taken care of in very different ways, fed different diets, their habitats maintained in different ways....

Personally, I spend a half an hour each morning tending to the animals, and at least that much in the evenings. This, of course does not include walking the dogs, bathing anyone, or dealing with any problems that arise. That half an hour on each side of the work day is just feeding, watering, daily cage maintaining (not cleaning) ......

I think most people have no idea how much time really needs to go into taking proper care of our companion animals.
