no. but occassionally free-ranging so he can hunt more actively from time to time might be nice for the chameleon. its not like silkworms and superworms need to be contained :)
okay but not optimal. You want to have a wide variety - as many options as possible.
Maybe use those three as your basics, and add others things (including crickets now and then if you can) in once a week or a couple times a month.
That's a considerate thought. Probably not necessary though it wouldn't hurt. the lizard is unlikely to come out into the open when you are there. It likely gets what it needs from dew, rain, prey and depending on the type of chameleon it may also eat leaves and fruit for moisture.
If you happen to live near the south end of Vancouver Island BC, I have more of my home made cages than I will ever need, now that I no longer breed chams. Cost a couple hundred to build each one. Happy to take any half-way reasonable offer.
about 2 foot deep, 2 foot wide and 4 foot high...
awful. heat-breaking.
And if the bugs and reptiles are impacted / dying, its likely harming people too.
I must complain less about the weeds and rabbits invading my garden, and appreciate more that I have the opportunity to safely grow some of my own food /my bugs food.
do refrigerate - keep the lid on tight.
I cant offer experience as to frequency of use, as I would not use it at all. I use a multi-vitamin like Repashy Calcium Plus (original) about once a week (and use a variety of prey and gutloads) so there is no need for extra doses of Vitamin A. I don't...
I add my voice to the advice NOT to use superworms (or mealworms or waxworms) as a large part of the diet. You also do not want to so heavily coat a prey bug in calcium that its white - just Lighly dust.
depends on the type of roach. generally faster than superworms. here are some links that...
This thread is worth reviewing before you make almonds a significant part of your or your bugs or your chameleons diet: http://www.chameleonforums.com/killer-almonds-131717/
summer bugs are now available for the catching in BC Canada too. Im getting Grasshoppers and termites by day and moths by night - the chameleons love it.
That's only the law in the USA :)
The organic ones are absolutely better, yes. the idea of your food being gassed is unpleasant, potentially unhealthy in the longer term absolutely yes.
But frankly I've used both organic and not organic, raw, blanched, dry roasted and even the cheap slivered...
