Hi I know this is years out of date but any U.K. Breeders of bearded Pygmy chameleons?

ok so update, little bugger still totally refusing crickets and locusts, goes for days without eating even though they are in the big tub in his viv. However this morning, I put in a couple of wax worms (small ones, in the tub along with 6 crickets). He hunted out the wax worms and ate them...

The up side is he's not sick, no parasites, vet reckons very well cared for so he can afford to be picky (apparently superworms taste like peanut butter, though someone did suggest gutloading the crickets with strawberries, anything worth a go I guess). So how long starving/only crickets can I...

well I guess I will have to persevere with starving him...

I put them in a tub clipped to a vine, some climb out so it's s mix, cup and free range

I caved in this morning after a week of his refusing crickets and gave him a couple of silk worms, one of which he took from my fingers which is the first time he's fed from my hand, so he must have been hungry. I'm happy to continue with a mix of silks (hoping I can get them regularly) and...

glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem, Alfie recently has refused everything but superworms, was advised to take him to the vet and get him checked over, everything clear, no parasites etc, so e's just being fussy.was advised to starve him as he's just being fussy. For the last week...

heroic eating... :-)

he's currently out in his cage on the balcony getting a bit of sun, he's still mobile and active and drinking. He did a bit of a stringy poo with urates. I've got some silk worms, but I want him to be hungry enough for him to think yummy crickets. It's a battle of will, man vs. chameleon. I...

hey howey, I have a similar problem with my adult male aged 14 months. Just recently gone off crickets and locusts and the dubias and will only eat morio(super)worms, which I've been told isn't good as a sole food source. I've had him to the vets, poo checked out fine no parasites, vivarium set...

well, so far, day 6 of alternate crickets and locusts and the little bugger still won't eat!

well i'm going to starve him for a couple of days and give him crickets, see how that works. little bugger :-)

so the vet says there's no parasites in his poo. that's good, but why has he gone off crickets?

crikey this is confusing. I have Vet Ark CalciDust (without D3) which I was told by the vet to use twice a week, and she also said dust with what I was using vitamin wise, which was vetArk ArkVits (with D3) on the other days. However someone on a forum told me that vet ark ark vits was no good...
