some chameleons don't like to be seen when drinking, but mine ALL drink from drippers does your big dripper have a tube/hose into the cage? do the drips hit leaves? how fast/slow does it drip (have you tried letting it drip faster)?

Its not hard to breed crickets (but I think it is smelly and noisy) there are multiple types of roaches you could try I found silkworms fairly easy to breed though a bit time consuming. Blue bottle flies are worth consideration superworms are cheap and easy and more gutloadable than some think...

Your current variety is sufficient. But adding more would be even better! silkworms would be a great addition. you can gutload on a number of things, and most chameleons really like them. Adding Butterworms would also be great. They are indeed easy to keep, but you cannot breed them for...

congrats! I'd be interesting in seeing more photos as they grow and develop over time

which ones are you thinking about getting?

Hi You might find some of the links in this blog entry useful: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/171-where-buy-feeders-online.html Something to consider is finding another reptile keeper (or frog or spider keeper) or two in your local area, and share an order. That way you...

very sorry to hear of this loss. he was a gorgeous guy and clearly you gave him all the care possible.

they are helpful in my frog terrariums. I have to refresh the stock now and they as the frogs do snack on them.

old thread somehow resurrected

thanks for sharing :)

waxworms - pretty much never superworms - one maybe two a week - make them no more than 20% of the prey you offer more info: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/74-feeders.html

i agree with Jannb, that you likely are over doing the D3 what brand of supplement are you using? how are you gutloading (the flukers crap isnt all you offer the crickets is it?)? try to offer a wider range of prey (may mean convincing your pet store to bring other prey in, or ordering...

wax worms are not a good choice. Silkworms and Pheonix/soldier fly maggots are fine, but not sufficient by themselves IMHO I suggest you add something "crunchy" to the mix - preferably something you can gutload easily. Even if all you add are a few crickets and the odd superworm it will help...

For supplements, I like Miner-All and Repashy. Used to use Rep-cal. You may find the info in this link interesting for comparison purposes: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/174-whats-supplements-brand.html Flukers has a bad rep

a bite or two now and then is fine, so long as the leaves are clean (no pesticides or fertilizers sprayed on it) make sure you are providing a wide range of properly gutloaded (and if needed supplement dusted) prey and you can hang pieces of kale, romaine lettuce, dandelion leaves...

mealworms at full size are going to be okay for a veiled that is 3-4 months old or older. You don't want mealworms to be large part of her diet though. other more size appropriate options include terrestrial isopods, soldier fly maggots (sold as phoenix worms or calci worms), or small...

Hello no, You do not need an elaborate 20 ingredient gutload. That some of us provide such doesnt mean it is necessary to make it complicated for it to be useful. Some gutloading IMHO is important, but you dont have to be obsessive about it. A handful of things provided on a rotation...
