Truly, the very best things to feed chameleons are a variety of proper size feeder insects, such as those below in the graphic. The second graphic is the best food items to feed to the insects to keep them healthy and nutritious. While veiled chameleons will eat plant and vegetable matter, it...

So, I just got a veiled chameleon, and I've been looking at what they can and cannot eat, and I'm getting a lot of mixed responses, such as grapes and mangos being both safe and unsafe. I understand that it shouldn't be a huge part of their diet, but I want to know what can be fed as a treat for...

Raspberries…sugar content..”just 5 grams in an entire cup”..quite low as fruits go. Unsweetened apple sauce is higher at “20-25g of sugar per cup“. I still wonder why so many veiled females in particular and some species of chameleons eat vegetation and other fruits and veggies, even in the...

Welcome to the forum @gt4awd and to the world of chameleons! You’ve been given lots of good information here already. It’s a learning process with chameleons. There is so much to know to have them do well in captivity! You said…”I have no natural plants. I did read they like to eat them. I...

He won’t eat vegetables. We have a mealworm farm and we feed the mealworms carrots, avocado, lettuce, etc. We also gut load them with calcium.

Hi and welcome! I can answer these questions for you but I would highly recommend having a full husbandry review just based off the questions you posted. 1. is it okay for my cham to be eating about 10 mealworms per day (5 in the morning and 5 at 7pm ish) a. if not please leave suggestions...

He is a male veiled chameleon approximately one year old. I’ve had him for 7ish months. I handle him usually once a week to check on his eyes and general health. He eats 10 medium Dubia roaches every other day that are gut loaded with potatoes or any other scrap fruit or vegetables we have...

I will definitely look into getting him some more variety for feeders especially more horn worms because he loves them a lot! I have to order all of my insects online because my closest pet store is a Petco and I do have a personal vendetta against them. (Also their feeders are poor quality and...

Let’s talk about food now. Here are the two commercial liquid diets and you can read the label on the carnivore care for what my vet prescribed for my veiled who wasn’t eating and was in rough shape (parasites & poor care). There’s also a pic of ReptAid, which a forum member told me about to...

I will type my responses in bold. He is a male veiled chameleon approximately one year old. I’ve had him for 7ish months. I handle him usually once a week to check on his eyes and general health. He eats 10 medium Dubia roaches every other day that are gut loaded with potatoes or any other...

So I am going to be very honest but please do not take it at all that I am being negative. Just that I want to make sure you have the correct info so you can have a wonderful experience with your boy. So yes he is wanting to be in the window because for him he thinks he is getting what he needs...

Unfortunately he did pass away, and still don’t know what really was wrong with him. To answer some questions, yes he is a male but just with a small casque. He was also very old for a veiled chameleon, around 9 years old or older. He was on a diet of insects (calcified dubia roaches and large...

I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s hard every time. But he had a very long life if close to 9 yrs old, kudos to you and him for the long journey. I can only hope my guys make it close to that. Thank you for sharing his story with us. You never know who you may help in the future. 😔❤️

Hi, I'm new here and really hoping to receive some guidance (this is going to be a long one, sorry in advance). I rescued a male, adult veiled chameleon that was in really bad shape back in July and was not provided any information on him. I named him Pascal. It appears that he was too close to...

these are of jeremy about 10/15 minutes ago, his nail has actually come off now. (i would like to also add that his lights are still on due to his vivarium having been cleaned out and also for the sake of the photographs being taken. it is currently 11:30, so that’s what time he will be woken...

Overall question: Have you tried growing vegetables in your chameleon cage? If so did your Cham eat it? Any comments concerns? Second question, are there other safe flowers besides hibiscus? I have a pied veiled and he loves chomping on any plant I put in his cage. As a Cham mom and a plant...

I’ll put my feedback in bold and split this into two parts. I see that you are from South Korea, so if English isn’t your native language and you don’t understand something, just ask and I’ll try to explain better. :) Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your...

See my feedback in red bold. Please let me know if you have any questions. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Jeremy is a veiled chameleon around 7 months old. I’ve had him since mid September of 2023. Handling - Typically whenever he feels like coming out, which is either everyday or every...

I actually will give my veileds some apple slices once every while, its good dietary fiber and has a decent Ca:P ratio. They are more omnivorous than panthers and I would rather feed them fruit on occasion than have them eat their pothos.

So would a chameleon eat them yes. They are opportunistic feeders and will go after basically anything. Does this mean that we should feed them. Not in my opinion. Chameleons are insectivores so their system does not break down all the components of a live animal like this. It is not something...
