oh I don't.
If there are 20 flies, I let them all into the enclosure and let them go nuts. Everyone's situation might not be the same as mine, but Spike doesn't seem to overeat. He will literally live with the BSF flying around / sitting around on leaves until he's ready to eat them...
See I am an idiot. I LOVE watching Animal Planet. I love nature and all it has to offer.
But I am such a softy for those poor animals that it still upsets me. I understand it. It's nature. But I'm right with you with the poor animals that end up as food.
But..........I can't help myself...
I love when this happens and so does Spike. He has a field day on these days lol I release them before he wakes up in the morning and then it's like they're just naturally hanging out on leaves.
Awesome! Sorry your chameleon had parasites, but at least you know what's going on and how to treat it. Hope this takes care of it! I wish I had a real reptile vet near me 😐
***EDIT: Looks like I was late to this party, so disregard lol. However, I would like to leave my story up so people can have an idea of the possibilities of a bad vet experience with chameleons.***
All I see is a dragon. And as others have cautioned already: Be WARY of what the vet says...
I think this comes down to what's actually better for you to prepare. They're both highly effective and work just fine. I personally freeze because it allows for the 'least maintenance' while doing a great job of gutloading. We rarely have to make it because we make a bunch of food. It's...
Yep and that was my point today. She can feed him in a pinch but I wanted to make sure she understood the whole process I have with each bug in particular. And how to know how much/many to feed etc. But today we got a lesson on what to do when your chameleon goes crazy :ROFLMAO: We will...
So I think I just figured out why this happened. I noticed Rebecca is wearing a tie-dye shirt and most of the coloring is a slight pinkish color (VERY similar to what female panthers look like when gravid. We just matched the color up online) She also recently died her hair gingerish. So I...
Now I've had her watch me feed him numerous times. She loves checking him out. She's no stranger to him and she's even hand fed him. But I wanted to go over the actual process of how I determine how many of which bugs per day, and how I actually set the bugs up for him.
So I show her how...
I'm using these guys Smart Outlet Timers. Very affordable, and easy to use. Just know you need to set them to "last used setting" for them to retain their settings if power goes out.
I forgot to do this initially and my power went out momentarily. I was at work watching Spike on the camera...
