    New Chameleon is Very Thin

    Most of us feed as much as they'll eat daily up until 10-12 months of age then cut back to 3-5 insects every other day. Gutloading insects with a variety of fresh veggies as well. Spinach, kale, collard greens, carrots are a few good choices.

    Am I gutloading wrong?

    ...chameleon eating it. Theres a few rare exceptions i believe. For the most part, most of us prefer to feed our insects certain fruits/greens/veggies. This tends to be a better method as veggies have more nutritional value, and are cheaper (imo at least). Here’s a more in depth guide on the...

    Bump on jaw?

    ...so much!! I have some money saved up, so I think that this is urgent enough to take her to the vet for. I will also be changing her diet, as I never knew her veggies were so bad. I will also try to get a new lighting setup if I can afford it after the vet trip. It might have to wait a bit...
