...2025. I have had him since 11/20/2025 - 11 days so far Handling - I have not yet handled. Feeding - Crickets (Bug Burger, fresh fruits and veggies) I put 10-15 in per day. House flies (from pupae) 10-15 that I saw. Black soldier fly larvae (not gut loaded) 5 per time. I bought horn worms...

Also just stating this for the record I did not recommend any fruits or veggies. I asked do you offer your chameleon fruits and veggies. My recommendation would be as said in my prior post to dice collard greens and carrots to a very refined dicing them into near rice sized bits would be ideal...

I don't personally use or recommend water crystals and instead allow my bugs to get their hydration from the natural gutload I use including a variety of fruits, veggies, etc.

I don’t know if you have already seen this study, but I thought you might find this table showing the nutrients of un-dusted crickets fed a diet alternating between Repashy Superload and a mix of sweet potatoes, carrots, and kale for 2-8 days useful.

Here ya go. These graphics should help you with the Gutload and feeders. I personally use repashy bug burger for Gutload as well as tossing fruit and veggie scraps in the bug bins as well. I have one chameleon so not many bugs so that is what works best for me.

They’re totally just maggots but I can’t call them that, because my wife would lose her mind. They’re “fly larvae” lol

...silk worms, hornworms, super worms (treat), grasshoppers (when in season), crickets. Every 3rd day. I do gut load with Bug Burger and fresh veggies Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? I use Sticky Tongue...

We can get fresh veggies, but it’s not so easy. I think it’s due to the fact that I live in a small town and the supermarkets aren’t always well stocked for some reason

...getting too many fat-soluble vitamins. Same with dusting the feeders with bee pollen before feeding. I think the bug burger on its own is good. I wouldn’t advocate giving any canned vegetables because of sodium and such, but frozen veggies are usually just the veggie and could be given to...

Oranges, apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, leafy greens are the things I can think of offhand that we put in there occasionally. They are put in one at a time, in rotation.

...into the gutload. I will add that I only started using the gutload a few months ago, before that I was only sprinkling bee pollen on the veggies… I think it’s the bee pollen… I just took this photo, I could try to get some more later? But I have noticed even his casque seems swollen would...

Welcome to the forum. You already got great info. Only thing I would add is, get a feeder run for your insects... I like the ones by full throttle feeders and the shooting gallery from TK Chameleons. This will keep your insects more contained. You run the risk of crickets biting the chameleon if...

Probably so, although I did notice a difference when I moved mine to a room with 60%.

You could just use those commercially made gut loads. I personally make my own because it is cheaper and then I throw in fruits and veggies as well just to top off the bugs if they want something different or more. This is what I do:

...casque and if it starts bulging up, slow down his feedings. The gut load I was using also included protein so moving forward I will only use veggies and fruit until he gets better and silkworm food (obviously). The protein gut load is really the only thing that I see that could be a potential...

Ooo I need to try this

thank you so much! i was wondering also about the temps. i have a 75 watt bulb that i used originally, but his temps were only reading 20-21 max so i got a higher one, but i agree that it seems low. my thermometers are digital ones from amazon so maybe they’re wrong? i will switch multivitamin...

Sorry…but I’ve never used commercial gut loads or insect foods. I’ve always used fresh greens, veggies and a very small bit of fruit for my insects and sand for reptiles and other critters that eat a vegetarian or partial vegetarian diet. I don’t use spinach for my insects or other critters...

...insects from a reptile store not from a pet store like petco or petsmart and I mixed up gutloading and dusting... we are feeding the insects veggies and fruits before we try to feed the lizards (have a bearded dragon and leopard gecko as well) but thank you for that sheet that explains...
