yes, I'm discovering this is exactly what she wants to do! I may leave the hanging bowl thing in there for a while yet, she does like to climb on the top of it and look down in.

I love that idea! I'm going to see if I can find those.. are they actual adult beetles? or larvae?

i want to give my girl more enrichment! So what are the best bugs to bug that she can prowl around her enclose and hunt? (My black soldier fly larvae have started to emerge from their cocoons and am super excited to released them into Nachito enclose!) Is there anything else besides bsfl?

We decided to get a plant for spike that he can hang out in for short periods while we clean his home and to get some more enrichment!! We got a ficus, and I think he is loving it!! He is enjoying hiding in it and watching over us. Anyone have any out- of cage setups for their guys to hang in...

...hurt your chameleon. The safest and most effective size feeder is the one that is easily dispatched by that first chomp. Nutrition and Enrichment Gutloading feeders for 24-48 hours before feeding is essential. Those pet store crickets are often nutritionally empty. Use quality cricket chow...

Agree with Eliza. BSFL are easier to keep than crickets, healthier feeder too. The flies also provide great hunting enrichment.

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m so thankful for this community it has truly enriched my life. Thank you everyone. Wishing you all a happy holiday and a wonderful 2024!

There for a good while I was letting them free range at the bottom of the cage for some enrichment for her but I’ve stopped and been putting them back in her feeder box,, and this isnt the first time she’s been on the medication, we’ve been trying too get her stool back too normal for a minute...

...advice and consideration of my stupid ideas, I think I'll go ahead and try to see if I might be able to find out if different types of enrichment have different levels of positive effects. might as well also try to see if some basic training can be done, like I said in my original post I know...

...aim to match captive conditions as closely as possible to the environmental patterns chameleons evolved with. Hydration, lighting, diet, enrichment, it’s all part of building systems that support long-term health and behavioral fulfillment. I’m not satisfied with setups that simply keep a...

...to hand feed is silkworms and then since their feet are so very sticky, I only hand feed hornworms when I get them. For hunting and enrichment, I let some bsfl pupate into flies and release them for my chameleons who are able to hunt them. While I don’t do it every year, I get mantis ooths...

Yea primarily crickets and dubias. Yes to silk worms, black soldier flies but those are enrichment mainly

Ohhh academy headmaster Bill. Always enriching our lives. 😍

Tons of keepers here give their chams free roam time! It is enrichment for them and gives them good exercise. You just need to be mindful of safety and UVB. Although he is basking in the sunlight, UVB can not penetrate glass. The only other risk I potentially see is his little nails catching on...

I think using praying mantises as feeders is a really interesting idea! It can provide enrichment for your pets and is a natural way to introduce variety into their diet. As for where to get them, Invertopia could be a great option to explore. They're known for their wide selection of...

Touching on number 3: I’ll give you my lived experience, my life has gotten a lot easier since programming a mister for my Cham, and it’s less stressful for both of us when the hydration cycle is automated. They do take just a bit to set up but with some planning it is not too bad. They are a...

I just leave them be in the same con tainer where I feed the larvae with veg in the coco coir. Once a week add more larvae for a steady supply. Eventually the coir gets soggy ( but never smells) so I dump it on the garden for enrichment and start a new batch.

I absolutely love to hear that our beautiful and spicy veiled ladies are living a healthy and enriched life! Way too often it’s the poor veiled girls who have the harshest and shortest of lives. I would most definitely read your blog about your sweetie and it may be of help to others who rescue...
