...on that. I have a feeling the other people neglecting him were feeding him something like mealworms so he is probably like what is this cricket/dubia roach. I ordered some black soldier fly worms for him but they won’t get here for another couple days. Would you guys suggest me “starving...

How old is your chameleon? Generally, they can go a couple weeks without food. I wouldn’t stress too much unless it gets close to around 2 weeks. My bet is your cham will break before then and eat the roaches, crickets or something besides the supers.

...of adults to thousands of baby crickets within a couple of weeks if incubating the eggs at high temperatures. To do that with something like Dubia I'd have to start off with a lot of adults. Crickets are a boom/bust type of animal. When I need to prodice a huge volume fast, that's an...

So one of my new year resolutions was to get my dubia colonies well started, so I can give some to my reptile friends that live nearby. I have 3 males and 10 females. Well my friend came over while I was babysitting my little brother and everything was great. But suddenly... a brown blob of bug...

These photos certainly do a lot of justice for dubias. Look how totally cute it looks up there! I wasn't crazy about bugs for a while, but getting an expanded diet for my scaly darlings really made me tolerant of the little crawlies.

...if I gently press both sides of his jaw with my fingers and quickly push a bug into his mouth, he’ll eat it! I managed to get Rango to eat 3 Dubias and drink a bit of water (by gently dripping water into his mouth from the mister). I tried using a leaf, but he didn’t notice it, so I had to...

...to. He has proper lighting and a consistent schedule. He is misted twice a day at about 8 AM and 8 PM for two minutes. I feed him a few dubia roaches every other day that are dusted in calcium and gut loaded with carrots/kale/sweet potatoes. Does anyone have any idea what could be the issue?

...stores. Many buggy vendors sell variety packs, which are fantastic. Check some of the sponsors, like Rainbow Mealworm, the Critter Depot and Dubia Roaches. https://www.chameleonforums.com/sponsors/?tag=food Fram’s Cham’s also sells silkworms. For grasshoppers, there are only two sources that...

...on the that we shouldn’t use them so I took it put. I’m still trying to get a branch that’s closer to the UVB. Gut loading crickets and dubia with Flukers high calcium mealworm diet. we’ve added super worms that are getting ground oatmeal. He’s also been treated for round worm. We...

I have the same as @ChameleonBoy26 and I have a full throttle feeder https://www.fullthrottlefeeders.com/ Both work good for me. Of course large dubias can crawl out of both but otherwise good feeders. 😊

...forgot to attach previously. @jannb do you know of any other good vets in the Sarasota or Tampa area? Btw, we can get legal roaches here. Not dubia, but discoid, which are similar and some sources say are better than dubia. I get mine from https://www.lindasgonebuggie.com/page/397479218 who...

I would get a fecal test run to ensure there is not a parasite load. It has quite a bit of mucous in it.

Welcome, and good job doing the research first! Dubia.com has all of those shipped to you and they have decent pricing. Beats anything I can find locally and shipping cost is about the same as anything close enough for me to drive to with gas and time. Dubias make a good staple, Hornworms, if...

We are moving to another state and cannot take him with us. For free pickup and can have 1 or 2 4ft cages, stand, Mistking, tank, lights and have a colony of dubia roaches if wanted. if interested, you can email me [email protected]

...feeder cup is around the top of the enclosure, below a stick that she can see them too. Two, you may want to consider more exciting feeders. Dubias, as great as they are, can be tough for a picky eater to come around on. I'm unsure of her age, but she still looks like a growing cham that eats...

He seems to be liking the dubias more than anything anyway so that problem solves itself. Funny enough these were the most massive stools I’ve ever seen him drop. I almost feel sorry for the poor thing dropping those absolute UNITS.

...they advised me on hatching BSFL. Oh my, he was JAZZED about having flying bugs in his enclosure and ate them preferentially over the usual dubias and crickets. I started to notice that he was looking a little skinnier but he was lively and enjoying the flies so I let that be his only food...

As Lucas said, sometimes tough love is the way to go with Chams. I would offer your cham only different types of bugs (NOT mealworms; offer dubia, silkworms, crickets, etc). If she doesn’t eat them, then just don’t feed her for the day. Your cham should give in eventually and the problem will...

...automated like that. I know that having someone feed my cham is ideal, but after an exhaustive search, absolutely nobody wanted to get near my dubia roaches. I will have someone come in every couple days to make sure everything it working. Again, I have no one available at all that would...

You said…”Food: she only accepts flies which get some multivitamin and calcium, no D3. I am also offering her crickets, locusts, dubia and shelfordella. But she only has interest in flies.”…the flies are getting multivitamin and calcium or they are dusted with both? What brands of calcium and...
