Hey all! Little bubba Walter is doing great now! I finally got the 1000 pinheads and he's turned into a little food machine. He's so cute when he eats. Hands down best pet a man can ever have! I love him! He'll eat about 15 to 20 crickets and then go get some water and chill for an hour or two...
Update: he finally ate! He is devouring the fruit flys! I'm going to give him 3 bowls of the stuff. So probably roughly like 60. I would give more but I need to keep some in the jar so they reproduce. He seemed hungry! He looks nice and content now though :) also, when dusting with vitamins or...
I know right :( he's having a rough couple days. As soon as he gets some food 9n him he'll be doing a lot better! He actually climbed onto my girls finger yesterday. She walked up to the cage and he fast walked towards her. She held her finger up and he climbed onto it. Stayed a nice green...
Thank you kindly. I'll try the banana trick. Do I need to put fruit in there if I use flightless ones and VERY lightly dust them? I feel like the dust would weight them down enough not to go all over the place. And yeah I got a big huge shipment of like 4 different bugs the day before he got...
Quick update for you chameleon gents and ladies, ordered the crickets (damn 45 dollars for tiny crickets with overnight air shipping D:) but because it's a Saturday they won't get here until Monday morning at the earliest. Order hasn't even been confirmed yet so who knows. Anyways I learned...
Thank you so much. You're a life saver. I'm going to order 1000 pinheads from the site you linked me and try to find a 2 inch opaque bowl for him to eat from. Also the cage I have is the reptibreeze XL mesh. Seriously, thank you. I just want my little son to eat. Any tips on how to get the...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - veiled, male, flchams said two months but he looks like a 1 month to me :(. I got him yesterday
Handling - I look at him from far away.
Feeding - he has not eaten yet. I have a food bowl of black soldier fly larvae, superworms, dubias, and a couple wax worms...
I got him off of flchams. It didn't say translucent. It did say he would be 2 months old though but I really feel like he's only 1 month.. which sucks for a first timer like me. This is the dad I got the baby from
While you guys are still here, is it ok for me to just turn his lights off? He was supposed to have lights off 30 minutes ago but he's on the top right corner on a leaf and is slowly walking around still. Should I just cut the lights or wait for him to get on a branch? Does it matter? He seems...
That's really funny that you said that, one of them followed Me from the kitchen and flew straight into the cage. Bubba was eying it hard. Looked like he wanted to eat it
I can get fruit flys from my kitchen my man. Roommates don't clean. I'm gonna check petcosmart and some bait shops though. Hopefully he'll eat crickets
I have not seen him eat or drink anything yet. But I hear that's pretty common for new chameleons. He's just been very active and climbing the plants on the sides of his cage. He tries to eat the leaves but he can't yet lol. Can I buy pinhead crickets at pet stores? Or do I need to order online?
Also he looks a bit translucent? Is this normal? His dad is a big orange guy with blue speckles. But young bubba is translucent looking with orange tinted feet.
