Feeding with D3 supplements

Ok so i usually feed my chams 10-15 baby crickets a day. My chams are about two years old.

How often should i use




Would every other feeding be good? What other supplements should i use

Herpivite maybe?

I also gut load my crickets with oats bananas graham crackers and i use wet paper towels for them to drink off. Any suggestions?

Are the chams under good UVB lights, or given exposure to direct sunlight? If yes, then you probably dont want to use the D3 more than a couple times a month. A calcium only powder should be used most days. HerpVit similar frequency to the D3 - instead of using vitamin powders frequently, gutload your feeder insects and offer way more variety than just crickets. Also you can offer large crickets to adult chams.

Yeah there under a good UVN light. See the problem is that there too little to give mealworms cause i dont want them to choke. SOOO what should i do? What kinda dust should i use?

Aside from the supplementation, I think you are feeding them too much.
I feed 7 or 8 large crickets (or the equivalent ... 3 or 4 superworms or silkworms, for example, or one or two dubias) every other day.
My supplement schedule is in the supplement article here:

edit: I don't think anyone can accuse me of starving my chameleons (see attached pic here):

You said..."i usually feed my chams 10-15 baby crickets a day. My chams are about two years old"...why are you still feeding them such small crickets? How big (not old) are your chameleons?? I hope you haven't stunted their growth?

Howdy Mitch,

I'll bet that you meant to say that your Veileds are "2 months old" .

Here's another schedule to take a peek at: http://vipervenom9.tripod.com/id17.html

Using all of the feeding/supplementation schedules that you've found, you'll probably have enough data to correlate together one that meets your needs .

lol yeah i did mean to say "months" not years.

Yeah thanks for the help guys
