Had to give my cham Baytril last year. The Vet had mixed it with chicken flavored broth (I think) to mask the taste and had given me syringes to force feed him. I tried a lot of the ideas listed above - mirror, pulling chin, credit card, water on nose, etc. I think all that stressed me out more...
Its usually hard to gauge the exact age of a Chameleon. But going off the pictures, i want to say, yours could be around the 5-7 months old. If you bought your Chams from a breeder vs. Petco/Petsmart, you can always ask them the age. They keep proper records
Many great jackson's caresheets on...
I use one of those Lee's Kricket Keepers (large) http://www.amazon.com/Lee-20078-Kricket-Keeper-Large/dp/B0002DHAWQ to house my crickets and it gets the job done. How ever the clear plastic caps on the tubes have all cracked. I can't seem to find replacement tubes anywhere online.

Yeah that's a good option. Give it a shot. But sometimes pet shops won't accept feeders from any source other than their usual supplier because of the fear of new parasites etc. transferring over.
Check out the Minneapolis Craigslist page (pets section). I think someone in Farmington was trying to sell some Dubia roaches a few weeks ago. Good Luck!
I'd recommend Twin Cities Reptiles & Leaping Lizard in Savage. Both places have a lot of supplies for reptiles. Plus the staff is very helpful and have better knowledge then Petco/Petsmart
Twin Cities Reptiles specialized in Snakes but couple of their staff have good knowledge on Chameleons &...

My setup is like like Miss Lily's

p.s. if you get silkworms, try to feed them off to your Cham...
Those sticky tapes work pretty well actually. I once had bunch of flies show up with crickets. Some tape in the cricket container did the trick for me.
Also i didnt know about the vinegar trick but what i did was that i took an empty dasani water bottle, put some orange slices in there...
My Vet Clinic asked if they could photograph my Cham for their Facebook page. It was earlier this week around election time.
I think it came out pretty good. :)
I was thinking of getting Dart Frogs next year. Didn't know flightless fruit flies could actually start flying ! Gonna have to reconsider, I cannot have flies flying around :eek:
Hey there, couple of quick things, Ideally, you want to switch over to a taller screen cage. All glass cages is something you should avoid. Your Cham will be happier in a larger/taller screen cage. Good job on getting some live plants though. I prefer live plants to fake ones.
Warm water...
