    A big fat "no" to earthworms

    I had a container of small earthworms that I had offered to my turtle. Neither chameleon was impressed. My turtle feels the same way so I was hoping to off them to the chams. The hedgies wont eat them either, huh! A big fat "no" to earthworms for this critter family I guess. Guess I will...

    Nope. No cricket for Jolly

    Offered two from a cup, not interested. Moved the paper at the bottom of his cage and a cricket came out so I didn't want to add more to the cage. Swyft ate the two crickets instead. so that's six for him today.

    Feeding 7-5-10

    Gave Swyft 6 medium crickets dusted with Miner-All. It says it has calcium 34-36%. He is heartily chasing and catching them. I decided not to do the cup since he seems to like hunting. Going to offer a cricket to Jolly.

    Any1 ever feel guilty about having chameleons in captivity?

    I was outside with my chameleons for the first time yesterday and felt this guilt. Swyft was at the side of his cage and had spotted the chocolate mint. He had his back feet on the vine in his cage, and his front feet pawing at the chocolate mint waving in the wind. There was no way I was...

    How many do you have??

    Two males, brand new owner. I see the addiction factor, but for now I'll see how my boys do. Eventually I think I would like to rescue and spoil the heck out of one or two that was neglected but first I want to make sure I can do right by them with my lifestyle and finances.

    Rango, The Chameleon Movie!

    I was totally excited about the movie until you pointed this out. Funny, I know it happens with other animal movies but I didn't even think about little kids and the "I want one" syndrome. *sigh* It is too bad. But in the end its the "adults caving in to the kids" group that is doing...

    Getting Chameleon-organized

    I'm putting a calendar in the room to mark when I should do the different dustings of crickets. I'm also going to have a different colored pen/pencil for each guy and jot # of crickets eaten. (if any, sigh, I wish Jolly would eat in front of me) This blog works for my discussion of them but at...

    One hungry, one doesn't eat.

    Jolly still isn't eating and Swyft is still in hunting/hungry mode. Swyft had four crickets, lightly dusted by the cup but no dust added, just whatever was in the bottom. He now crawls to the front of the cage, cage door open, and snags the crickets right out of the cup, it's cool! Three...

    Behavior from spraying

    Jolly loves to be sprayed, Swyft runs from it. I just avoid the exact spot where Swyft is sitting and spray the rest of the cage and plants. Oops to hot water, I wasn't using hot or warm water just filling the mister jug in the morning and having it in their room by the cages. Thanks.

    over feeding

    I'm going to read up on the feeding. I love watching Swyft eat and he is such a hunter and a pig. Today was going to be my "no feed day" but that didn't happen. He got a big ol' roach this morning, two I believe, and now tonight after misting he was all hunting around so I offered him two...

    Outdoor time today!

    I had such a blast watching my guys outside! I brought their enclosures outside, exactly 1/2 in sun and 1/2 in shade, I just kept following the line of the porch side. Swyft really enjoyed it, he was all over the place, nose in the air, reaching for the plants nearby, it was so cool to watch...

    shopping for cham stuff

    Today I went looking for some chameleon items. I found the bamboo sticks at Hobby Lobby and they were on sale too! I got one set and divided it between the two cages, took my time threading it around and fastening it, then threading around their fake vine. Both chams have been climbing up...

    best video ever

    Wowwww. That is...amusing. In a "watching from across the street" sort of way. I was afraid he was going to deck the camera guy though. (The comments were as good as the video, btw)

    A fresh morning

    My first morning after giving up the girls and what a sigh of relief. I was so worried Alice might be hinting at nesting. I couldn't tell if she was hinting or hunting as other parts of the day she would be way up at the top of the cage as usual. Anyhow moving forward with the boys. I...
