    Am I gutloading wrong?

    ...chameleon eating it. Theres a few rare exceptions i believe. For the most part, most of us prefer to feed our insects certain fruits/greens/veggies. This tends to be a better method as veggies have more nutritional value, and are cheaper (imo at least). Here’s a more in depth guide on the...

    Gutloading Schedule?

    My last batch of BSFL, I tried to put them in ground up oatmeal but...It was basically a flour at that point and they just dried up orz. I felt such a fool because that was 100 little buggies meeting an untimely end from my own mistake. I really appreciate all the advice! I don't have that coco...

    New chameleon owner

    ...you for the fast reply! I have fake plants in his enclosure and I noticed he likes to chew on them haha; I read that veiled chams like to eat veggies as well as live insects, so I have to look into what I can feed him. The yawning doesn’t occur for long periods of time so I’m not super...

    Help me! New chamleon owner!

    ...or banana which my roaches love). I also use Repashy Bug Burger to supplement the bugs diet and for when I’m lazy or in a rush. Puréed veggies ice cubes are also good for this.

    Have you tried Grasshoppers?? My advice if you are feeding crickets.

    The grasshoppers are expensive but the benefits out weigh the cost. 1. No cleaning 2. They don't need water 3. Gut load with fruits and veggies 4. They live all month 5. Depending on size - you might only need to feed 2 or 3

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    I am using a calcium with D3 twice a month and without D3 for every feeding. The main thing here is that her eyes have been closed for multiple weeks and I have been trying to figure out what is this issue causing this since we don’t have any vet near. I think since she has been keeping her...

    Food ideas for young, shy chameleon

    ...I even fastened a little cup in the enclosure with dubia roaches, and he doesn't touch them. He also doesn't touch the tiny-chopped fruit / veggies I put in there. I was thinking of trying to get him a few hornworms but I've heard they can bite hard, and he's a very little guy. What else...

    Bump on jaw?

    ...so much!! I have some money saved up, so I think that this is urgent enough to take her to the vet for. I will also be changing her diet, as I never knew her veggies were so bad. I will also try to get a new lighting setup if I can afford it after the vet trip. It might have to wait a bit...

    Rescue Cham W/ stomatitis?

    I keep my feeders in a bin and put food like the greens listed in the feeder bin. That way they're all full and happy and have good nutrients all through their digestive system for when the cham eats them. :). For my cage, I have a money tree and the biggest pothos I've ever seen filling most of...

    Sweet Panther Developed Aiming Problem - Please help!

    Hi. Nothing in your husbandry is really standing out to me except what you are feeding your bugs. Yellow and orange veggies are high in (proformed) vitamin A. This is the type of A which is water soluble and easily excreted and is the one which we are unsure if chameleons are able to utilize it...

    Sick cham

    ...about the Arcadia gut load, it seems like a really good gut load so great job on that! It does say you can sprinkle it on fresh fruits and veggies OR you can add warm water to the mix and have a paste you can feed to the bugs. Do what will work best for you, but if you sprinkle it on the...

    FREE ENCLOSURES AROUND PHILADELPHIA

    The sign below the female veiled chameleon’s enclosure said, “omnivore” and they had a dish of cut up veggies on the floor, next to a bowl of water which had a poop in it. Strangely even the San Diego zoo calls them omnivores...

    Phantom leaf eater

    That’s something I’ll try, if i can find them cheap, here in uk mantis are pets and not feeders so can pay $15 for one 😅. Cleanup crew get fed leaf litter, veg scraps, and isopod powdered food, they are thriving tbh, I had troubles at the start with them keeping up, but they’ve bred a lot and...

    Veggies 😤

    I saw someone on tik tok recommending to feed veggies to chams. 😤😤😤 I told them politely that this was not true and that they should come here and talk to people but they didn't. Just something I was mad about, continue with your day. Also I've been here less beacause I'm in high school now...

    Random Veileds

    Poor sweethearts. What pet store is that? Is it one of the chain stores? They have terrible set ups for chameleons - bowl of veggies, bowl of water and looks like not much for them to climb. I try very hard to avoid going into pet stores because I want to ‘save’ them all. I had to go into one...
