i forgot to ask you, but when you had your mantis’s in the chameleon cage, did you ever see your cham eating them? or were they too tiny to see

...question though. I hatched out several ootheca in the past without any issues and since I’m currently battling soil gnats again, think I’ll be getting some more ooths to hatch out. I was going to try mosquito bits, but mantids not only helps the gnat problem but gives some chameleon enrichment.

...you tried? Black soldier fly larvae (bsfl) is a great feeder and I like to let them pupate into flies to give my chameleons some hunting enrichment. Even my older girl who no longer shoots her tongue more than an inch or so enjoys hunting the flies and she does catch them. You’ve had your...

...I ordered many more (500 in January I think). Seems like it’s been months and months. Finally had some pupate into flies, which is what I wanted (flying treats to provide enrichment and stimulation) and still have plenty squirming around currently. It’s like the never ending container of bsfl.

I use a lot of different sizes for enrichment and exercise

Thank you so much

...a bioactive enclosure (at least for me too) is the chameleon is always hunting for their clean up crew. I guess we should consider it enrichment. 😁 Having mushrooms is actually a good thing and a sign that your bioactive is doing what it’s supposed to. I don’t know about the black scale...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anybody had any out of the box enrichment ideas. I have a close to a year-old female veiled chameleon who loves to explore and roam around. Here’s what I’ve done for enrichment: 1. Add new plants and branches to her enclosure (I’d like to redo her enclosure at...

...I have all of mine bioactive and they have been doing very well. They all enjoy hunting their isopods at times, which I see as natural enrichment for them. I make sure to have a thick layer of leaf litter and some good sized cork pieces for the isopods to hide under and eat. Just make sure to...

...best I can for my little piglet and keep her happy as I’m sure you’d all want to do for your cuties too! So I’m wondering if you have any enrichment ideas ? What do you guys do, she Gets the occasional treat once a week, has a few smaller live plants in her enclosure and vines. But ive got...

...few different types of feeding stations available and I think it’s always beneficial to use one. When I want to give my chams some hunting enrichment, I pupate black soldier flies and set some loose in their enclosures. I don’t mind if my chams want to hide from me. I try to respect their...

Larvae are super healthy. They are high in calcium and protein. I would assume the fly’s are equally healthy however I happen to just use my flies as an enriching hunting treat. I know there is a list floating around here somewhere with a list of what is in what bug….

BEAU-TI-FUL :love::love:

This are the last pics!

Hello Chameleon Community, I would like to share a detailed overview of my male Trioceros jacksonii bioactive enclosure in hopes of receiving constructive feedback, suggestions, and insights from experienced keepers. My goal is to ensure his habitat is optimal and to refine the setup wherever...

...or Kai Phan on Facebook are the only places to get them and you may need to wait for them. Some great healthy and fun treats/enrichment are pupated bsfl. I keep them in a loose organic soil/coco coir mix in a container with a bit of space and just feed them until I see flies. They don’t all...

...from!), they’re much cheaper, come in bigger quantities, and are healthier! Pet store crickets are more likely to carry parasites. For enrichment, you can put moth and fly pupae around the greenhouse and wait for them to pupate, chams LOVE them! Waxworm moths (just make sure they don’t...

Enrichment is a great way to bond with your chameleon and increase their quality of life.

Do you keep them on the fridge?

...available: discoid, Turkistan/red runner, ivory or orange headed, horseshoe crab, and green banana roaches (the only roach that can climb or fly in this list is the green banana)! If he’s still small enough, you can also feed bean beetles and fruit flies for extra variety and enrichment!
