Dubia roaches aren't picky eaters and It's a bit surprising that they did not swarm the bug burger. I think you may be overfeeding. You really only need to offer them food about twice a week. They are very hardy and can survive a long time without any food.

Is that a fake chameleon? :cautious:

You are correct in that a glass setup will work, but your tank is really not ideal for an adult veiled. Other than the two branches, he has no where else to move about. This forum has plenty of vets and long time keepers, some with decades of experience. You can definitely do well with a screen...

There are several corrections that you need to make. 1) Repashy Calcium Plus has a low concentration of D3 and vitamin, so that it is safe to use at every feeding. I use it about 3-4 times a week and have been doing so for 2 years now. If you decide to use the regular calcium, you will need to...

You're better off filling out the "How to ask for help" form. Much easier to help us better understand your situation. (y)

Sooo lets get this straight....you hold your chameleon daily, go on walks with her for hours, and watch TV long enough with her to where she falls asleep on you. Sounds like you're a part of the "chameleon freaks" community to me. (y)

If it were simple, then everyone would be making their own gut-load. I don't know the cost of shipping to Canada, but a pound or two of cricket crack/bug buffet can go a long way. I only use a couple of finger pinches to sprinkle it on to the veggies.

Sandra has a gut load recipe you can take a look at with the link I've provided below. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/entry/january-2012-dry-gutload-recipe.575/

I keep the crickets in a separate room, so the noise is a non-issue for me. The pros definitely outweigh the cons when comparing to brown crickets though! (y)

A lot of members on here switched to the banded crickets. They are much more hardier and active than the brown crickets. I purchased 100 about a month ago and have had very little die-off. Heck, a few months ago they mistakenly delivered my package to another house and I wasn't able to get to...

That's Pierre! Unfortunately, he passed away sometime last year :(. She has a lot of very entertaining videos on her instagram account and even had one make it on to the show "America's Funniest Home Videos". :D

Get a Mistking and implement a draining system. Other than my chameleon, it's the best purchase I've made since becoming a keeper. I have a 10 gallon bucket and only have to re-fill about once a month. It makes everything so much easier, especially if you go on vacation for a few days, no need...

+1 on Arcadia! I personally use the 6% bulb on my XL Reptibreeze with no issues at all, and change them out every 12 months. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of symptoms did you see from your nosy be? Also, how old is the chameleon?

I forget sometimes that not everyone is working off of the same schedule and may not have the luxury of offering food twice a day :ROFLMAO:. Your feeding schedule is pretty much spot on though. My guy will eat almost anything after a skipped meal day, so I make sure to rotate variety in that way...
