    Feeder company recommendations

    Thanks for the encouragement, ive really been struggling with him lately. I had to move him a few weeks ago and force him onto my hand and hes been super aggressive lately. I lost all the trust i built. 😭 i feel so guilty

    Feeder company recommendations

    Ill definitely look into them if i decide upon roaches. Ive mainly only had crickets so far as he seems to be a bit picky. I got horn worms once and while he did eat a couple, he was not amused.

    Feeder company recommendations

    Hello! I am currently a customer of Joshs frogs for feeders and i am not happy. We do not have any local shops you can get feeders from so i rely on mail in services.

Yesterday he was asleep when i got home at 6, today he is awake and...

    Chameleon diet on a budget?

    I struggled w crickets too. Idk if this will help but I learned that theyre much more dependent on water than food so i keep a dish with a saturated paper towel in there and just feed this different food scraps maybe once a week or flukers cricket cube food (just to keep them alive). Also i keep...

    Sos eye issue part 2

    I gave him a 3 minute misting yesterday and today i admittedly forgot. (Lights out now) Will try a five minute misting tmmrw and probably everyday until resolved. When i fed him today he was still winking. But he was back in the foliage so i didnt want to stress him. I will order a new uvb bulb...

But now alot of dust coming from my...
