Dont feed your feeders high protein fish flakes etc. This includes "meat". Even if said feeders dont store the excess as uric acid, they will be higher in non insect/veggie protein. Cham kidneys will only take so many pinkies per week before they start getting iffy, as an example. Though it...

...litter on top of the soil and I sprinkle tiny bits of dry fish food flakes in as well. I sprinkle a tiny bit of bee pollen to any of the veggies that the crickets eat as well. I keep this bin in my small grow tent. Then if they escape They are still contained with in the tent. ( well not...

Looks like Skittles offered you a good bit of florida specific advice. Florida ants are a menace, and I often don't consider pests because the Alaskan climate kind of nullifies a lot of the more common ones 😅

...gets 1/8 of a cup every day or two and the smaller or slow eaters get like a couple tablespoons. Most of my diet is winter and summer squash, a huge variety of dark leafy greens, about 8 different types of fruit, and other root veggies. Probably about 20 different fresh things available overall

...there, but here (for now at least) produce like mustard or turnip greens are inexpensive. What many people do is make a purée of the various veggies and then freeze like ice cubes and then you can grab & thaw a cube for your bugs. I keep a bag of frozen mixed veggies for ‘emergency’ bug food...

...things in higher abundance than bee pollen. It’s true there’s of anti nutrients out there too, that’s why it’s good to rotate greens and veggies even for us. I have been of the opinion that a well raised feeder is more important than gutload, same with variety of feeders. Like some good...

Could you post pictures of the supplements you’re using please? Oatmeal is no good as insect food, I’ve attached a food guide below for you, stick to those safe veggies going forward, as they’ll help your chameleon’s health!

...Friday. They get a gutload cube, once a week I put in pre-made bug burger too and then occasionally i'll just throw in scraps of fresh veggies from the gut load list. I also get Josh's Frogs Premium Cricket Cuisine as a dry gut load to feed my bugs too, this is always in their bins and I...

Oh si THSTS not to bad then!!! I’ll definitely look into getting some I. The future

...every other day or so. The vermiculite is in a small container inside the main cricket container for them to lay. No, I do not carry those veggies in my refrigerator, but it appears I will have to make a trip to the store here. I've been primarily feeding carrots and sweet potatoes. And...

...for the crickets to lay their eggs”…I have always used washed playsand as a substrate for crickets…but many things work. You said…”As far as veggies? What would be out of the ordinary”…do you normally have in your fridge things like dandelion greens, kale, collards, endive, etc that are good...

Oh yeah…that’s great! I usually remove them from whatever it is they are shipped in and place them in a soil/coco coir substrate (just enough to cover them and give a little room for squirming). Maybe once a week I moisten the soil a bit and give them something like shaved carrot, squash or...

I keep my crickets on a paper towel substrate for easy cleaning and put their food on something like a paper plate or similar. For superworms I keep them on wheat bran, which they eat and then I’ll give just small slices of a lower moisture veggie, like carrot, squash, sweet potato to hydrate...

Ok. Thank you!! FWIW.. my hibiscus was blooming…. But I’ll put that plant light on my plants that I bought it for—I’m trying to grow veggies year round. I actually have a jungle Dawn too, I’ll put it by the reptisun For the vision LED by Sol reptile, they are just now in the process of...

They’re setting in my enclosures for at least 3 years. No issues so far and also never seen them on a cham. Just make sure they have enough in there to eat. I also drop trimt leafs or death insects or veggies/fruit waste on floor, to let them enjoy a meal.

...their eggs. I read that some use that and some use organic soil. The reason I went with the vermiculite was the monitor retention. As far as veggies? What would be out of the ordinary. And as far as all the chameleons. My plan is.to stay small. I k ow that can all be taken with a grain of...

So the gutload veggies would be for the bugs. You are legally required to be a bug parent too, owning so many chams :) That's what no one tells you lol Also! It's not recommended to give vegetables to our chameleons, just to the bugs they will eventually eat. As your girl is checking around at...

Have you checked for other tiny pests? One fun thing (for your cham) to do to help eradicate any tiny pests is to hatch a mantis ooth in your enclosure. The baby mantids eat any pests and your cham gets some tiny snacks. I do it to help with soil gnats. Does your clean up crew have enough leaf...

...sugar per cup“. I still wonder why so many veiled females in particular and some species of chameleons eat vegetation and other fruits and veggies, even in the wild if there is no need for it. I’m not saying we should feed them anything but insects, but I’m not 100% sold on there being no...

...variety of insects for your chameleon…crickets, grasshoppers, roaches, etc….and the insects need to be fed a nutritious diet of greens and veggies so they are healthy. While she is opening and closing her mouth to drink, you can place a cricket between the teeth so your chameleon will bite...
