Next is raising insects! Then, you might get into buying veggies and greens you would never have thought of buying! Pretty soon you’ll need a whole room for all the chameleons and insects…

I received 100 differential grasshoppers today and didn’t have any organic veggies around so just tossed in some romaine lettuce, carrots, celery in there for now. Within 45 minutes every single one died. I spoke to a breeder (who frequents here) and he said that’s got to be from pesticides...

I was preparing some veggies to gut load some crickets for the chams, and I decided to toss in a piece of organic pasture raised beef hot dog. The crickets are going to town on it. Has anyone else tried gut loading meat and could it be a way to increase nutritional value in crickets?

Yes key is to keep your CuC fed with all kinds of stuff. I’m using leaf litter, trim waste and sometimes veggies or fruit rests. It’s correct, also has a big slug problem and tried the beer trap method (which works good) and the solution you tried already, putting in food and through them...

...crickets. He eats around 6-8 crickets and i try to offer him 3-4 times a day but he mostly only eats twice, i feed the crickets and roaches veggies and i put a small bottle cap with water in their container. Supplements - the only thing i use is arcadia earth pro calcium and i just dust them...

My local Petsmart. I keep telling the associates and manager, omit feeding them the bowl of veggies. Remove the water bowl just mist the cage. Petsmart has the option to get the arboreal setup from the cage manufacturer.

Yikes! I used cheap veggies to feed my Differentialis. I hung the food to avoid all the poop falling onto the food.

...give the cuc some of whatever I’m feeding my feeder insects - I put it under their cork bark so they can stay hidden as they enjoy some fresh veggies. Every now and then I’ll find an escapee isopod strolling down the hall. I’ve determined that some came out when the leaf litter had become...

...This is the case for most foods. This might be the case like if you had a pet human and fed it "the most protein dense plant per calorie" it would starve to death on a full stomach because it would be 1kg to get 100 calories, so 45 pounds of veggies a day to get your 2000 calories to live.

...him so I appreciate your referrals. As for gutloading, I will definitely step up my game (I'm a picky eater so don't typically keep a lot of veggies in the house so buying specifically for feeders and the veggies spoiling before going through them is kicking my butt. I've heard of people...

Because of the growth of mold and that you found a poo, I’m going to advise that you do a lot of work which is a total pain in the butt…take down completely your current bioactive, sanitize the enclosure fully before redoing. Once all is sanitized, you can redo, but I’d like to guide you in a...

It’s not that all veggies are bad…some are just better than others and veileds don’t need any. I won’t give my beardies any spinach or kale, but I do give a variety of other greens, like dandelion, turnip, mustard, arugula. I use the same to give to my insect feeders. I do have to give a word...

Dont feed your feeders high protein fish flakes etc. This includes "meat". Even if said feeders dont store the excess as uric acid, they will be higher in non insect/veggie protein. Cham kidneys will only take so many pinkies per week before they start getting iffy, as an example. Though it...

...litter on top of the soil and I sprinkle tiny bits of dry fish food flakes in as well. I sprinkle a tiny bit of bee pollen to any of the veggies that the crickets eat as well. I keep this bin in my small grow tent. Then if they escape They are still contained with in the tent. ( well not...

Looks like Skittles offered you a good bit of florida specific advice. Florida ants are a menace, and I often don't consider pests because the Alaskan climate kind of nullifies a lot of the more common ones 😅

...gets 1/8 of a cup every day or two and the smaller or slow eaters get like a couple tablespoons. Most of my diet is winter and summer squash, a huge variety of dark leafy greens, about 8 different types of fruit, and other root veggies. Probably about 20 different fresh things available overall

...there, but here (for now at least) produce like mustard or turnip greens are inexpensive. What many people do is make a purée of the various veggies and then freeze like ice cubes and then you can grab & thaw a cube for your bugs. I keep a bag of frozen mixed veggies for ‘emergency’ bug food...

...things in higher abundance than bee pollen. It’s true there’s of anti nutrients out there too, that’s why it’s good to rotate greens and veggies even for us. I have been of the opinion that a well raised feeder is more important than gutload, same with variety of feeders. Like some good...

Could you post pictures of the supplements you’re using please? Oatmeal is no good as insect food, I’ve attached a food guide below for you, stick to those safe veggies going forward, as they’ll help your chameleon’s health!

...Friday. They get a gutload cube, once a week I put in pre-made bug burger too and then occasionally i'll just throw in scraps of fresh veggies from the gut load list. I also get Josh's Frogs Premium Cricket Cuisine as a dry gut load to feed my bugs too, this is always in their bins and I...
