Hello,dear friends!
My friend has unhappy story :( :

He keep pair of chamaeleo jacksonii xantholophus. Friend bred them about 3 months ago .
15 babies was born. But on today,only 2 babies live. Other babies died.
Friend was very sad .He asked me to tell you about this story. He want to know about temperatures of care babies and all methods of care and nurse of babies.
What vitamins do you give your adults and babies jacksons?
And what secrets are in care of babies?

Please,help us. He have gravid female and will have babies soon.
 
I have heard of a YouTube vid that all Jackson owners need to watch and I think that's it. Show your friend the Jackson care sheet found on the forum on the bottom left under care sheets. It is normal though for their to be a high mortality rate with Jackson's I believe. He doesn't keep them together, right?
 
Thanks!
Yes,he read this care sheet,because he sometimes come in this forum.
Babies keep together. Adults keep together too.
About vitamins:
In our countries(Russia,Kazakhstan,Ukraine) chameleons keepers give vitamins with crickets. They strew insects. Vitamins- Reptocal/reptolife(TETRA) 3 with 1. They give vitamins for jacksons 2-3 times in month.
What vitamins do west keepers give jacksons and other?
 
That should be on the care sheet but I know they require less supplements but two to three times a month is to little. The babies are fine but he should NOT house the adults together.
 
How many age are jacksons live?
And can adult jacksons die without any problems?

Some of my friends lost jacksons without any problems.
 
The two adults should be kept apart.

Your "friend" should do a little more research before he begins caring for a chameleon, never mind breeding them.
 
Completely agree with deevo chameleons are a more advanced species of reptiles and should not be taken lightly, I would return the chameleons to a vet or zoo or someone who can take care of it properly. Then once you have learned to take care for one you should get one.
