Are there any enrichment things you can offer? Can just lounges on this one branch all day. I know that’s common chameleon behavior but I want to get him up and moving more

...systems. However, I feel for the animals kept that way…what a boring crappy life they have. The lucky few get maybe a fake flower for ‘enrichment’ and a small rock to help them shed like Snake Discovery does. The bulk though are on paper with a water bowl in just enough space to move a...

Who said anything about an enclosure? :cool: It's a nice place for a cham to park while enclosure is being tended, or just some different scenery (enrichment) for an hour or three... ;)

Try house flies those will get her attention.

Wow, I just answered this. Had to check if it was a duplicate poster (it isn't). https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/handling-question.185056/#post-1703483 If you work calmly and slowly, you will not stress him out too much. ;) He'll probably enjoy the enrichment.

...ANYTHING . They also turn to flys so unfed options turn to an flying buffet (the nutritional value of the flys is much lower but is good enrichment for your Cham.) Downsides are they get super powers when wet, and they seem to be harder to digest. Many keepers myself included find bsfl that...

Chameleons are lazy and as long as he is getting enough to eat by force feeding he probably won't bother to eat on his own. You will eventually need to wean him off of feedings to get him hungry enough to feed himself. You have a tough call to make as to how long to skip feedings because he is...

...near about anything. The reason we feed BSFL is for variety and their high calcium rate. I don't gutload mine at all, they tend to get stinky if you do that. I feed them off, let them turn to flies then feed off for enrichment, and always add a few extra to my compost bin to help with composting.

Thanks! Gonna check it out for sure!

...graphics to help. One of the treats that I think my chameleons really enjoy is bsfl that has been allowed to pupate into flies. It’s nice enrichment for them to have a challenging little hunt. Supplements: Repashy calcium plus with his morning and evening crickets, Reptivite with D3 (2x per...

So can I just catch moths from outside? I disagree he crawls onto me to chill. Sometimes he won’t go back on the branch he’ll just hang out on my hand and I’m like hug. The guitar head doesn’t vibrate, it’s really the body that vibrates. And they lack an external ear so it’s hard for them to...

...some time hunting them down. My male veiled got a bit chunky from all of his snacks, but the others do just fine and I think it’s nice enrichment for them. At least one of my girls, who previously used a standard lay bin, didn’t find her bioactive substrate suitable to lay her eggs in. Out of...

Thats actually a good. Idea. I got u now. 🤣

Oh yeah she lovesssss the dragon gel and it has supplements and all the nutrients needed in it! I still use other stuff with it though because variety it good and I'll buy that beardie ball!

You definitely don't want to take them on walks, but going outside is great enrichment!

Hi all! I was just wondering about pet enrichment. Other reptiles and animals can have toys or learn tricks but just for a chameleon it can get a little boring! Is there any way to provide enrichment for our friends other by providing a wide variety of foods? Every time I do a major cleaning...

luckily my guy loves them so they go fast for me. but they dont really provide him the enrichment of hunting, so im always throwing in some flies and mantids too. but that same thing happened with me with hornworms once...they got about the size of a finger and i left them with their chow they...

I love doing that for Yoshi…. I have a 3ft dracena and a giant fig a

...me wonder about a vitamin deficiency. However, I’d still advise replacing the artificial plants for live ones, just for aesthetics and enrichment. What are you giving for supplements and how often? Having them correct is essential. You will be needing to upgrade your handsome guy to a...
