The other day when I hand fed my Cham, he ate the cricket right out of my hand, but today I tried to hand feed a mealworm, he puffed up, hissed at me, and tried to bite me, anyone have a guess at what's going on?
I've been hearing from some people that for a 3 month chameleon that you should feed him calcium with d3 every other day, and from others that it's twice a month, can anyone tell me which is right?!
Whoa
That's an amazing chameleon, i have a sambava and i hope to expand and get more chameleons and start breeding them in the future, and I will definatly have Nosy Bes. And I love the name.
I also have a 3 month old panther, i have had him for just abbout a week and I just today started hand feeding him, i gave him a week so he could adjust and not be so stressed. only feed him about 2 mealworms a week because they are high in fat and they can easily become spoiled of them...
Every night near lights out and when he's sleeping, my chameleon has been turning a whitish and brown color, is that a sign of him being to hot or just natural?
Haha, youre not the only one, i feel the exact same way, the very first one I got was really stressed out and the guy swapped me, being as nice as he and gave me the best of the clutch that he was going to keep, so i feel a bit better but am still quite stressed out and worried Im not doing...
You do not want the mister (which looks to be a reptifogger) running all the time, only mist it 3-4 times a day and make sure it's dry before you mist again and when you turn all his lights out for him to sleep cause he'll get cold and could get sick. Also only use the dripper for about 30 mins...
You dust the feeders with the one without d3 every feeding, you dust the feeders with the one that does have d3 twice a month. for example next month you could do the 15 and 25 or what ever other 2 days you wanted that month.
Calcium without d3 at every feeding, calcium with d3 twice a month or so and a multi vitamin to be used twice a month. use the calcium without d3 at everyfeeding the one with d3 twice a month.
