    Last week's tumble, this week's bruised little body.

    You can get black soldier fly larvae aka phoenix worms/calciworms, and just keep them long enough until they pupate into flies. It may cause the hunger strike to end. I would be a little worried about the no eating part though...

    Possible Chameleon Burn. NEED HELP.

    Does she puff up or change color when you grab her? Make sure to put her on a cham safe plant or in a screen cage when outside. You must gutload every feeder! Cricket Crack, Mazuri, Sticky Tongue Farms Vit-all, and Repashy are all great! Waxworms should only be treats, superworms as treats...

    gutloading vs dusting vs vitabugs + calciworms, your thoughts?

    ...this before. 90 day feeding trial near the end of the video with groups of bearded dragon hatchlings fed dusted insects vs vitabugs + calciworms vs gutloaded only insects. Wasn't aware that vitabugs were sort of designed to be used alongside calciworms (calciworms 2x per week, vitabugs the...

    Where to buy fruit flies in Maryland

    ...feed those off to your larger pets. There are flying feeders, but not ones that you can purchase like that. Such as soldier flies, aka calciworms. These are maggots that turn into flies. They will fly around and chams love them, but it takes some work to get them to that point. Hope this helps!

    Panther chameleon still won't open eyes

    Force feed carefully, mash up bugs into like a bug juice or get Carnivore care formula. Yes, calciworms or Phoenix worms. Also, Honey is great way to add a boost of energy. As far as hydration, try letting water just drip onto his nose for several minutes to help him stay hydrated. If you can...

    And...we have BSFlies!!!

    ...they were maybe like maggots but it means I can extend their lives a little here, until the inevitable! Thanks very much, it's been very useful. We call them calciworms here so maybe I googled wrong. Hope DZ is o.k after his unique method of catching flies. Is there a mellers in your future? :)

    Worm proof feeding cups

    ...cannot climb out. Some bigger crickets jump out, so I let him free range eat them, since he prefers it. I thought that he ate all of the calciworms, but the tray probably got wet and I found most of them under the reptile carpet or in the drainage tray. They can climb with the smallest amount...

    Hunger strike for worms

    ...some up every other week to gutload. He will at least eat crickets better than roaches. Today I just threw a few black soldier fly larvae(calciworms) into the outside cage. He went after a few. He hasn't ate much past few days. I will make that boy crack. He will have to eat those roaches...

    Chameleon refusing food and actively climbing screens

    ...would be my first pick. Black Soldier Fly larva are also yummy (apparently) and can be found branded under various names (Repitworms, Calciworms, Phoenix worms). Naturally if he refuses to eat anything at all no matter what you try, it's time to seek out a vet. But I would try some new foods...

    Praying mantis

    I haven't tried any other roaches because I can't get my girl to eat the dubias much at all. They like to hide at the bottom corners of nick Barta's feeder cups and idk if she just can't find them or she won't eat them. Maybe I'll do an experiment and only offer her the roaches and see what she...

    Could use help and guidance - new veiled owner with new rescue

    You might want to contact your calciworm supplier, but otherwise they will grow out, and you can feed them vegetable scraps to keep them gutloaded

    Wild bugs that are safe

    Black Soldier Fly Larvae (a.k.a. Phoenix Worms, Calciworms, Reptiworms) are good feeders and full of calcium so you don't even have to dust them. They turn into Black Soldier Flies and chameleons go nuts over them. You can also order some Blue Bottle Flies or some Green Bottle Flies or some...

    Calcium intake

    ...put his crickets in it too, but the bigger ones will escape, so he must hunt them down. I set it at the bottom of the cage, but have two branches nearby for him to stay on while he eats. Here's a bunch of threads about them...
