Thank you so much Sandra, i think i will just try both form of vit A to make sure they get them. With 50 adult breeders, a toodler and a teacher career, i dont have time to cook great gutloads plus i dont really feed crickets. I need to find a good supplement.

I heard that the chameleons can't convert the acetate and not the beta carotene.I think thats has been my whole problem, using VitA in Acetate form and not Beta Carotene. I will do more reseach about this, I think thats my problems.

That probably why you haven't had problems if you use carrots. Another just use a different vit dust with the Beta caretene form of vit A and there is a few on the market you just have to look. I think repashy plus has the beta caretene.

i think I figured out my problem, well I hope I did. I have been using Reptivite vitamin dust and it has the Acetate form of Vit A which I read is not the proper form of Vit A for chameleons because they can't break it down. I know the Beta Caretene is what they need so I'm going to have to find...

I wasn't offended, sorry if it sounded this way. I appreciate your advice, i just wanted to say that its hard for me to believe it was nutrition because if I'm lacking it than it will be hard for me to fix. I guess maybe more dusting would be the solution but I don't want to harm their organs...

Thank you for taking the time and giving us all the wonderful info Sandra.

I love Reptiaid, works great. What companies make all those products you mentioned. Is it repashy?

Its hard for me to believe it was lack of nutrition of the mother because I do take good care of them. The female also came from a great breeder in Victoria ( Sandra) who cooks organic food for the crickets and knows exactly what chameleons need when it comes to nutrition.The two females I bough...

Its a huge passion of mine, been doing it for 10 years and now I;m also opening a company supplying quality worms such as silk worms, horns, pheonie, butter, wax and supers I will be shipping these as well as soon as I get a fed ex account. We are relocating from Calgary to Vancouver Island and...

These are veileds and another veilds batch hatches plus two babies cracked their eggs from nosey mitsio/ambilobe panthers. it's been a busy week for chameleons galore. Four females layes eggs, 3 mated and 3 clutches started hatching.

I'm sure glad I started this thread. The conclusion is simple. the product varies depending on many different factorfs.How often do the chameleons get real sun during the day, what type of insects get fed, how often the uvb bulbs get switched and what type of bulbs are used. Most important, D3...

I only use D3 once a week but i'm considering twice a week. My vet already told me that dusting more than once a week when you change your bulbs every 6 months and take them ouside in the summer ( which I do) is toxic to their organs. The fact that my chameleons get 50% silk worms, 20% horn and...

How can I find this thread, I'm interested.

They hatched 5 days ago. I'm force feeding them liquid vitamins with calcium and d3 by using a needle from a syringe. Its working really well, most of them just open their mouths. I wasn't going to stand there to see them die. They wouldn't drink when I misted them. I will keep everyone posted.

Thank you for your reply. I just emailed him to ask how he knows if thats the product. I personally think parasites are more common than overdose on vitamins. I started selling quality worms such as silk, horn, butter because I lost chameleons to parasites that the crickets carried. Some cricket...

I'm just wondering what people think of this product. I know one breeder lost his male chameleons because there was too many vitamins in the product and than I know a breeder that uses it everyday and has for two years. I would love to hear other breeders experiences, kind of confused about it...

The babies are still hanging in there but I came up with a great idea. I sprayes the babies with liquid vitamins and they won't open their mouths so I took a syringe and I used the needle sideways to force open their mouths so I can give them some vitamins. Most of them just open their mouth...

I wasn't going to sit there and let these little guys die from starvation so I ended up taking a syringe and using the needle side ways to open thei mouth so I can give them Vit A ( beta careten forn), vit d3 and calcium liquid and vitamins. i'm crossing my fingers, this is a new technique for...

Thank you for your help. I'm confused with the Repashy product, had a few people that love it and one breeder told me he lost all 8 adults do to overdose on that product but the one thats happy with it uses it everyday. I think using D3 more than once a week is harmful to their organs, well at...

They are still hanging in there and a couple started opening their eyes. I have alot of medical supplies since I have so many and my vet is great for helping me out so I actually took a syringe and held the needle side ways to open their months so I could get some vitamins ( specially vit A and...
