Remkon, I don't actually feed them grass (even if they are called grasshoppers...) This is because grass can give the locusts worms, which are harmless to the locusts, but can cause problems once the chameleon eats them. So I only feed the grasshoppers with coarse organic vegetables; kale...

These "cages" are great for quick temporary setups, e.g. for some basking in the sun :-) Just so nice to see chams in a more natural environment instead of a cage. Chams both look and behave differently when outside.

From what I have read, I am assuming that the D3 is for her to easier absorb the calcium that she is getting. Some days she is quite slim, and later that same day she can be completely bloated. So I don't think that she has eggs actually, can't see any marbles either. If I present her to the...

Jajeanpierre, I followed your advice and gave her a lot of smaller sticks - makes a huge difference. As seen in the pics, I went berserk with sticks, but it was so well worth it! She is climbing around a lot easier, and this night she was not sleeping on the floor for the first time since I got...

Thanks for the responses. I think Dubia will be the way to go, I raised dubia and hissing roaches when I had chams 10-15 years ago, without problems! Roaches are very easy. The only thing is that my wife will not allow roaches in the house, which I choose to respect :-) And I also kind of agree...

My chameleons outside enjoying a rare sight; autumn sun in Denmark! Gotta get them out every time you see a ray, and the temp is decent. These cages are foldable laundry-baskets from IKEA! Good size for panthers, allows UV to enter, good for a long shower, takes up no space when folded, and are...

Haha, love the conversation. When you live in a different time zone, there is really plenty of time for a thread to have taken an unexpected turn when you wake up in the morning :) I got the grasshoppers from a local breeder, in Denmark you can get them in any pet shop. There is no ban on...

Just finished setting up my locust "farm" yesterday and already the first mating has been observed!

jajeanpierre, Well noticed. She is missing some nails/toes, which is odd since she is not WC. Not sure how it has happened, but there are no signs that she is in pain. She also has very long nails, so it appears that she has not been that active for quite a while. As I wrote, she gets calcium...

Hehe, thanks anyway :) She is slightly recovering, but its going very slow with her front legs.

Yes, she was at the vet and was diagnosed calcium defeciency. What do you mean, should she go to the vet again?

I always let her access a bin with some dirt in it, to monitor if she starts digging. If she starts digging, I have a egg-laying cage that she will be moved to. It is essentially a large palstic bin with soil at the bottom, and very little visibility so she is undisturbed. However, she has not...

Beautiful!

Thanks Chachi. I have figured out another way of solving it, with a little "ramp" midway in the cage, where a big flat plant is placed. This way she can walk in and out of the heat zone, and is within the UVB range. I can post pic tomorrow when I have built it. Now... She is getting slightly...

Chachi, sounds like a very interesting solution. Please do send pics :-)

Hi Guys. Thanks for all your fast replies! Update: She was at the vet yesterday, and we got some D-vitamin to give her orally (1 drop per day) and some calcium that she must be given 4 times a day also orally. Regarding her health, I have been keeping her outside in the sun, giving her locusts...

Thank you for the reply. Hmm, I don't see that weak grip should be a symptom of being egg bound. She was kept together with a male by the previous owner (so stupid, but she was...). Now she has her own big cage and possibility of laying eggs, so if she has eggs she should start digging soon. If...

Hi! I bought 0.1 pardalis Ambilobe 4 days ago. When we bought her she looked OK, although very big and round, so I am assuming she is with eggs (she has been caged together with a male, so it is quite likely). During the two days she was in transport-cage, her grip has seemed to get weaker and...

Thanks Action, but it is not on the website. I asked Chris, and it has not been published yet. Waiting excitingly :-)

Thank you Garrett, I read the thread by Andreas and it is very nice to see people share information like this. But it would also be nice to hear other variants on how to breed Parsonii, since there to my knowledge are still a lot of unknown factors being investigated. The more experiences...
