Eating a lot more of his plant Hello all knowledgeable in the ways of chameleon keeping, Hue has been eating the leaves of his jade cactus a lot more than before. I think his order of favorite food is 1. waxworms, 2 jade cactus, 3. crickets. He eats the crickets, but he eats his 2-3 wax...

Shedding twice in a month Hello, So I've been dusting every other day with calcium without d3, and every two weeks giving a multivitamin. Hue is shedding his skin again today. This is his second time in a month. Is this a normal time frame?

Hue's voracious appetite Thank you guys for all the help!! I'm almost a month with Hue now and he's grown so much. It almost makes me worry that he was underfed at the pet shop. He's doing about 20 medium crickets a day. I am considering giving wax worms as well since maybe he's having...

Supplements Since the petshop recommended it, I have been dusting daily with a calcium with vitamin d3 supplement by fluker's. Is there a vitamin d3 toxicity possibility? What would you recommend for the daily dusting? Also what multivitamin do you recommend? Could you send links? I...

Thanks for the confirmation about shedding! What about vitamins? Hue finally scratched his skin off and seems happy that he's dead skin free now. He either ate all the large crickets, or they all died, so I ordered medium crickets 1/2". He seems to be happy. We have placed 2 live plants, about...

Is it normal for Hue to scratch the parts of his skin that are peeling off on branches and the terrarium screen? He seems to be enjoying it, but I just want to know it's not pathological behaviour.

Size of crickets The crickets are about 1/2" to 3/4" he seems to enjoy hunting them rather than going all the way to the bottom to eat the small crickets inside the cricket enclosure. He's already starting to shed his skin and grow, so I wonder if he's eating so much because he was underfed at...

Cricket cage Hue is eating the large crickets and had 2 BM in the last week, but he also is purposefully doing them in the container I keep the crickets he's supposed to eat in. Will he continue going to the bottom of the cage to eat out of the same container he seemed to have picked to...

Scared of cricket noise? Thanks for the story about Chameleons keeping food in their mouths for fun. I thought that was what he was doing, but wanted to be sure since we just upgraded from small to medium crickets. Speaking of upgrading, we bought a box of 1,000 crickets and they are loud...

Cricket leg hanging out of mouth? So I came home for lunch today and Hue was at the bottom, sitting on the edge of the cricket container with a cricket leg hanging out of his mouth. He then crawled on vines up all 4 ft to the top of the cage with the cricket in his mouth. A few hours later he...

He ate, probably I left the chameleon alone for about 8 hours today and when I returned, he had eaten 8 of the 12 crickets I left for him at the bottom of the terrarium in a 1ft by 2 ft by 1ft container so they couldn't escape. Is it possible that now that he has a larger space where he can...

Hello, We just welcomed Hue Hefner, our veiled 1 month old chameleon, to our family. Hue was kept in a small plastic container at the pet shop about 1 ft by 1ft by 2 ft. We didn't want to stress him, so we put him in a smaller enclosure, although much larger than the pet store for 2 days...
