...cage being room temp (67-72). So my question is, is it a bad idea to put her in the small tree outside of my apartment to give her some enrichment? I'm mostly just worried about birds I guess. Living in Pennsylvania, my thought is that none of the local birds would try to mess with her since...

If you think you need more hanging plants, get a spider plant. They grow fast, and they're my panther's fave when he's out getting 'enrichment'. But IMO you need a centerpiece plant for each side. Different centerpiece plants on each side will also give you the option of switching them once...

...being much harder to dust without damaging their ability to fly. And the purpose of feeding them is the fact that they fly and are great enrichment for the cham. I'm guessing you didn't mean 15min - can you please clarify this. Tx- No, I mean instead of having that misting mid day when the...

...silk worms, Dubia and hornworms Yes, variety is best. The amount is good for a growing boy. You could also add some bsfl, which are fun enrichment for your chameleon once they pupate into flies. Additional treats of waxworms and superworms are nice additions and a staple which many have been...

dubia roaches would be good as well. Maybe some Bsfl for enrichment. If he doesn’t like the larvae he may like chasing and hunting down the flies.

...to get you some asap. BSFL are pretty simple to deal with. Once they pupate they become hard and almost black in color. Then they will hatch out as a fly. These are great for chams as an enrichment feeder. You just let them loose in the cage. While in larvae stage you just feed them to the...

The main consideration I made when using a mist system is that tap or bottled / mineral water will accumulate all the minerals on the nozzle. Eventually it will reduce the spray. I don't think it's a rapid process but one to be aware of none the less. I also have a drip system you can prob get...

...3-4 med to med/lg feeders (or equivalent) either every other day or 3 days a week (plus one treat day). Besides it giving him a bit more enrichment and enjoyment (for lack of a better word) while eating, he’ll have more bugs to transfer nutrition and the supplements to him. While not really...

I'm looking for ways to give enrichment to my 8-9ish month old veiled. She's pretty personable (considering what I've seen about veilds in general lol) and I'd love to do something interesting/enriching for her to enhance her day-to-day. I have already taken her outside a few times which she...

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...
