If you only have a coulple of lizards you can just buy crickets at petco. They are more active and more likely to trigger a feeding response. If you have 20 lizards, you would be wise to get as many as possible on dubia because they are less space intensive to raise and there's less...

but as of this moment, she doesnt want to eat either the mealworms or crickets ive offered. i tried cup feeding a day ago and they ended up going everywhere in the enclosure and i vacuumed them up 😬 i genuinely do not know what to do

Hello! My names Quinn and I recently took in a 10 month old Jackson’s chameleon Female about 3 weeks ago. I have been doing a lot of research on what their colors mean, feeding, humidity etc. This wasn’t a huge leap for me as I used to own a veiled and have a ball python, a jumping spider, and...

Thank you for the tips! He does have live plants (Pothos and an Umbrella plant), the only water content he's been getting has been from his crickets and the ice drip I do 3 times a day (morning, mid day, and night). Running to the store ASAP to get a spray bottle. Horn worms were also...

I buy almost ally bugs from dubia roaches.com I just bought silk worms from coastal silkworm I get crickets from a local feed store since I can't keep them alive for very long

I breed my own grasshoppers. You can purchase them from Dragonhoppers.com or Feedmychameleon.com from Dean. I have also purchased from Khai Phan. You can contact him on Facebook. Breeding is easy. 2 years ago, I purchased breeders from Dean. Started my own colony. Last spring, I caught...

Great info here. Thank you! That money tree sure did get tall fast! I'm putting in a baby and the original pathos that didn't fair too well originally from when I first started. Any who, some recent pics included...

I really can’t tell which were found bc I don’t remember, I know coccidia was one and I want to say that the others might have been Protozoa and pinworms but I’m not too sure. I’ve been cleaning this cage tray (no substrate bc vet said it’ll cause more problems to keep) with peroxide and I’ve...

Thank you!! This is my baby so be stressin. Lol

This is the age where I would add in variety. You put them in with the crickets he already views as food. He will learn at a young age the others are food too. Just load up the feeder run with them all. I would stick to 1/4 inch dubia. Silk worms are another good one and with you having two that...

Ok so if your hydration and humidity levels are on point for a Veiled chameleon you never alter this. Everything should remain the same even when they are shedding. Meaning 30-50%max daytime humidity and then at night up to 100% humidity only when there is proper airflow and temps are below 67f...

Right now I use Repti calcium every other day (I feed him every other day). And Repashy Calcium Plus LoD 3 twice a month. I notice his crickets escape though and he ends up eating later than when I feed him, and maybe the crickets lose their powder by then? 6 to 12 crickets every other day...

He's super pretty! Personally, I use these as feeder cups. You can also just use a plastic drinking cup too, for hand feeding sessions, but perhaps look for colors aside from red, since chams seem to react to it. There are a few feeders you can let loose, for example, when wax worms mature to...

Hello! can anyone help me with my chameleons age? I got her from a petco a few months ago and they didn’t know her age and they said she’s a female but that’s all they knew. i’m new to keeping reptiles and wanna know how old she is. Also how much would i feed her at this age because she looks...

Do yourself a favor and buy a feeder run for his insects. This will keep them semi contained and enable you to track his actual food intake. Also makes it so you dont have to worry about crickets nibbling on him while he sleeps. This is a huge learning curve. The more you learn and observe his...

You want to dust lightly. The bugs shouldn’t look like snowmen. Bsfl don’t need to be dusted at all. I put a sprinkle of supplement in the bottom of a deli cup and let the feeders move around and dust themselves. If it looks like they did get too much on themselves, the excess than be blown off...

I appreciate your help. We do the herptavite once a week. Of course calcify their crickets at at every meal. And i read up on bee pollen. So we mashed up some bee pollen and been lightly dusting our crickets w bee pollen. We read thats their natural medicine out in the wild. She hasn't shredded...

I'm not keen on it either but I have some left over from when Phin first lost his tongue. I found a great bug meal mix that I put in it that has all the right insects. Mixing the two, with extra calcium added, made a huge difference in Phin's recovery. It just has to sit and meld for a few...

It can’t hurt to put a few superworms with the roaches but don’t be surprised if he picks out the worms. Roaches are an acquired taste to some 😅 mine came off roaches for months addicted to superworms, just keep offering. He won’t starve while you gutload crickets for a day.
