Just wanted to update you all.
I took the tip someone gave me and went out to catch some wild butterflies, and to my great joy it seemed to catch his interest as soon as i let it into his cage and he ate it before i could even snap a picture of it!
Thanks you all for the great tips provided...
i might be overreacting to this whole situation with his bark eating, but in almost every historical thread i read when i search the forum history many react like the following comment. I guess there are alot of split opinion on this forum
Yep, he never touches feeders that are free ranging, he is litteraly basking together with the locusts under the lamb and they don't bother each other at all
This is the current supplement i'm using for almost every feeding, should containt all the nourishments he requires according to the staff at the store
These are the other minerals sold by my local pet store, anything recommended that could spark his appetite?
I'm not too sure stress is the reason, he happily climbs out on my hand if i offer him to get out of his cage to climb on his favourite indoor tree that he loves so he is kind of used to my hand, besides i work 12 hours shift where i fill his feeding cup up to let him tend to himself troughout...
I'm currently using a insect feeder made from a plastic bottle as shown in the picture below, however he seem less and less interested by it with every passing week and now he only just occasionally eats a mealworm or two from it. Today i tried mixing crickets, mealworms and a locusts in there...
Thanks, i'll see if i can find something to spark his appetite again!
Thing i forgot to mention is that he is unable to shoot his tongue. He has been like this since
i got him, think it's some sort of damage from when he was a juvenile that never healed properly.
It never stopped him from...
Thanks for the reply!
I havn't contacted a vet, mainly since there is not chameleon specialist in my country as far as i'm concerned. I get most of the advice from forums like this and from a book i bought.
Hmm i havnt been able to find the info you seem to look at, should it really be normal...
So unfortunately and with much sadness i have come to the decision that i might have to put my panther chameleon up for adoption since i cant seem to find a solution to he's bad habits involving his eating habbits.
Since the day i got him about 6 months ago he has always been a picky eater. I...
He is about 8 months old now, so i guess it makes sense i should start using it every other day. Thing is he usefully only eats 1 large locust every morning and so i dont think it gets as must calcium stuck on it as if i were to feed him say, 8 dusted crickets a day.
Hi and thanks for your reply, im using the sticky tongue farms miner-all for daily supplement, see picture in comment below. i didn't really dig trough it, will take a closer look if something similar comes out again. He has been eating alot today and is very active overall. this is quite a...
