Thanks Jeremy. For me first time I’ve seen her eating after brumation. All winter she has locusts in her enclosure, which have fresh veggies constantly, however never seen her shoot or eat one. When I gave her Dubia’s, nothing, now outside within 30” she took a dubia

...isopods. They established themselves pretty well, most important is to provide them plenty and plenty of leaf litter and I even put in some veggies and fruits. They basically eat everything that isn’t alive. Problem in the beginning it takes time for them to thrive and establish themselves...

🤣🤣 there’re living a few them with her. Every few weeks I put new ones in there with veggies and fruit. That’s the only way I can keep them alive long enough.

...protein as uric acid just like we store excess fat as fatty acid. Personally i just treat the roach bin as a compost heap and all the left over human veggies go in and get rotated out in a day or two. At worst i will add some Alfalfa/dog food that i ran through the mortar and pestle as a...

Agreed with above. I also have an automated system which can hold up to 9 days without refilling. I also put in a feeder run with veggies for the feeders, so may chameleon whenever she wants. However, I got a Parson which only eats when needed, I think your veiled will finish the feeders on the...

Never be sorry for asking more questions! I personally have a high calcium dry gut load and then I make ice cubes out of veggies and fruits blended up to offer another source of nutrition for bugs.

How have the earthworms been for you in bio? I’ve been hesitant to add them in the past as they can break down stuff almost too fast and sometimes lead to compacted soil in the long run.

If you happen to have any silver sulfadiazine, you can put a small dab on it. Plain neosporin (without pain reliever) can also be used. It should heal up fine, but do keep an eye on it just in case. When feeding crickets, unless you are certain that she has eaten every one of them and none have...

Thank you! Yes, he definitely would eat all his bugs in one day, he can't resist his wax worms! I will also put a camera near his cage, thank you again!

What’s the type of vitamin A in the vitamins you are using? PrEformed (retinol, animal sources) or prOformed (carotenes, veggie sources)?

Okay awesome. We have a family of 5 so we go through a lot of veggies and the scraps need a home so it works out!

I would add greens such as collards, dandelion greens, kale, and veggies such as squash, sweet red peppers, zucchini, etc. your chameleon may need more nutrients than it’s getting because your insects are lacking nutrients.

...Repashy Bug Burger- I'll eventually make puree for the bugs but for now with the little budget I got(and how much my local stores Charge for veggies)it'll be fine. I'm also returning some of the stuff that the pet store...gave me. They fortunately take back stuff with no issue- imma get...

...about this so I thought I’d share again incase it helps someone out. I only make my gutload every couple months. I blend all my fruits and veggies with some bug burger and a little water to help it get smooth. Then I put it in ziplocks, freeze them, and break them into chunks. This way I am...

...hydrated rather than nutritious. I'd super recommend making gutload ice cubes. I love this idea, and it makes things so much easier than preparing little bug salads with scrap veggies and removing them. You make them from a list of approved produce, and they can keep in the freezer for 3-6...

Just want to suggest swapping something else for the cucumber and iceberg…both are fantastic for hydration but lack nutritional value. One of my bug diet staples is squash…yellow summer squash (Or zucchini) is enjoyed by all my bugs. I also always have butternut squash. Try various greens...

So you said your parents fed him whenever they remembered... This is kinda a red flag.... This tells me that they could have been forgetting. Which means there also would have been reduced supplementation and possible issues of gutloading properly. So my recommendation is to try to get him back...

This is what i do. Lights and mister is on a timer, mister has enough water to last two week. Cham on gets big feedings on the weekend and a snack or two during the week. So if im gone for a week i give him a big feeding, then load up a run (well i use a tub with sticks across it) with lots...

...IMHO. You said…”! I have fake plants in his enclosure and I noticed he likes to chew on them haha; I read that veiled chams like to eat veggies as well as live insects, so I have to look into what I can feed him” Definitely get the fake plants out of there asap too…if bits of those are eaten...

Hi there, I love that you’re wanting to help out! There are a few things that have wrong info though, one of the biggest being only using kale and carrots for the veggie portion of your gutload. You don’t want to use kale because it is high in oxalates, which binds calcium. More veggie variety...
