    How to store these bugs?(Discord and Silkworm)

    ...some egg flats for them. I don’t provide water as they do get enough hydration from their food. I feed them the same fresh organic greens and veggies that I feed my bearded dragons, plus a bit of Repashy Bug Burger. I keep the feeder nymphs in a much smaller bin (currently a plastic show...

    Update on Kurt Cobain (my great-grandcham)

    ...stuck shed. I stopped giving him bee pollen on his feeders because it seemed to irritate his eyes, so I started adding it to the crickets veggies and he was still rubbing his eyes so I stopped altogether. I filled out a husbandry form when I built his enclosure last year and nothing has...

    A monkey's taste for chameleon salad?

    I particularly don’t like the hyena kills. Many other animals take the prey down as humanely as possible…still not painless im sure though. Doesn’t anyone feel bad peeling carrots or potatoes or chopping up veggies. How about trimming trees or grass or flowers.

    Deadly Chameleon Myth series

    ...in the winter) to try and speed them up to hatch into flies. I also put them in a bigger container and feed them the same gut load cubes and veggies as the other feeders (sparingly). I'm not going to lie - it makes a mess sometimes and can stink. When it gets like this I add more organic...

    Frozen or Fresh!?!?!

    I prefer to feed fresh, but I also keep a bag of frozen veggies (some mix with bell pepper, squash or something) for when I’m in a rush. I had tried making my own ice cube style mix and once it thawed, it made such a mess and the bugs wouldn’t eat it.

    Large isopods for bioactive Cham enclosure

    Awesome! Yeah I figured there would be no issue with them. Was just some guy on Reddit that heard it from some guy lol now just gotta see if they work with the dwarf whites

    New Chameleon is Very Thin

    Most of us feed as much as they'll eat daily up until 10-12 months of age then cut back to 3-5 insects every other day. Gutloading insects with a variety of fresh veggies as well. Spinach, kale, collard greens, carrots are a few good choices.

    Don’t ever feed your feeders non organic!

    I think I just got unlucky with what I used. But yeah I would use non gmo type stuff

    Slugs in bio active enclosure

    Yeah I have the same along with dwarf whites but mine are orange. So maybe they’re deep down that would make sense why I don’t see them. I have a lot of leaf litter too. I’ll try some cork bark

    Gutloading Crickets

    ...about all the pests getting into the house. I don’t gutload specifically, but I do keep my buggie colonies well fed a diet of fresh greens, veggies, Repashy Bug Burger and I too have the ice cubes. I put the ice cubes in some of the tiny dishes I have that were bought for my geckos or came...

    Sick Chameleon?

    I talk a lot, so am breaking this into two sections. Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon, not sure about his age. I have have him for two weeks I’m going to take a guess that he’s maybe around 5 months or so, based on the size of his casque. Handling - Rarely/Never It’s always good to...

    Am I gutloading wrong?

    ...chameleon eating it. Theres a few rare exceptions i believe. For the most part, most of us prefer to feed our insects certain fruits/greens/veggies. This tends to be a better method as veggies have more nutritional value, and are cheaper (imo at least). Here’s a more in depth guide on the...

    Gutloading Schedule?

    My last batch of BSFL, I tried to put them in ground up oatmeal but...It was basically a flour at that point and they just dried up orz. I felt such a fool because that was 100 little buggies meeting an untimely end from my own mistake. I really appreciate all the advice! I don't have that coco...

    New chameleon owner

    ...you for the fast reply! 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. The yawning doesn’t occur for long periods of time so I’m not super...

    Help me! New chamleon owner!

I also add bee pollen to the bug burger when I make it or will on occasion sprinkle some on the fresh veggies for...

    Have you tried Grasshoppers?? My advice if you are feeding crickets.

    The grasshoppers are expensive but the benefits out weigh the cost. 1. No cleaning 2. They don't need water 3. Gut load with fruits and veggies 4. They live all month 5. Depending on size - you might only need to feed 2 or 3
