You can try cup feeding! (Hiding crickets is not the best thing... - they shake off calcium and vitamin powder - they can bite the cam at night - might place eggs in pot and one day you see micro-crickets escaping the cage) Take a look at these...

There was a thread about the amount of D3 in different brands: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/why-give-them-vitamin-spikes.147485/ RepCal 400,000 IU/kg (according to google photos it is 400k and not 240k as stated above) Fluckers Reptacalcium 100,000 IU/lb Exoterra 14,740 IU/lb ZooMed...

Back to the chow recipe: I ordered 100% mulberry powder from South Korea on Ebay. About 20USD for 300g. I cooked it like normal chow 1 part powder, 3 part water. After a couple of days my 3rd instar worms started to die off rapidly so i stopped giving them this powder and went to fresh leaves...

Here is a guide i found useful: http://www.silkwormstore.co.uk/guide-to-raising-silkworms.html

Or you just put the silkworm eggs in the fridge during winter when you dont have access to leaves. Take them out at spring, and they will hatch in a few days. ;)

You can try other feeders as well. New feeders will surely get his attention. Silkworms contain a lot of nutritious thing from mulberry and also helps in hydration. BSF larvae are a like a living calcium shot. You can order them online if there is no access to good a shop in your area.

I feed my stick insects mulberry and they seem to like it. They get the same leaves as the silks but need much smaller amount. The sticks are about 4-5 weeks old and 7 cm in length.

At least in my Country it is the opposite. In the Hungarian Facebook groups you can find reputable breeders selling properly raised chams with quality bloodline. On the other hand there are the bigger traders with their own webpage. They are usually selling veileds for 12-15 USD at the age of...

Yes that what they do :D And then turn into huge black armored beetles: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/superworm-beetle-darkling-zophobas-morio-isolated-white-53248287.jpg

Let me jump in this thread with an other one-eyed panther. I think that eye socket looks quite bad and agree with Lathis and JoeVet that it could be spreading from the original infection. This is how they performed enucleatio on my guy: enucleation 1 by Vanjan posted Apr 7, 2016 at 12:51 PM...

Hello Thomas and welcome to the forum! You might want to read trough the basics of keeping a chameleon here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/ There is much more needed -even for starting- then the good ventillated glass-or-mesh terrarium. You will need UVB light, Multivitamin, Calcium...

When they are kept together the worms will not pupate. (Tested it for more than 3 months) You will have to separate them to pupate and hatch the big black bugs. I think it does not worth to farm them for one chameleon. I just buy the mini-worms and raise them. Chams love the white worms that...

I had some superworms that found a new home in a big log that i have in the cage. Every morning i found fresh wood chips (more like powder) under the log. Only after a few weeks i could find a hole in the log and catch them. One of them was actually pupae already. So supers only in feeder cup or...

Thanks for the details! I also found they only are able to climb when worms are wet. I like the idea of double boxes. since the outer coconut is not wet they will never escape :) For feeding i found they love things with sugar. These little worms devour slices of apple within a few hours but i...

Hi JaxyGirl! I am really interested how you keep BSF indoors. Last year i was able to hatch the flies but no eggs were layed on the cardboard pieces that i put in there. I have about 200 larvae going on again. What temps are you keeping them? what is the medium? how wet do you keep it? (I found...

Does it look like this? https://goo.gl/photos/X2pisaHsqnv88wQT9 Mine is doing this occasionally in mornings. Stretching, yawning, eye cleaning. But never seen these things after feeding.

If you have something like this: http://r.ebay.com/HLLiLj Well that is not useful at all. I have this one from ebay: http://r.ebay.com/8gRWhI This is a little bit better. Problem is that it measures UVA&UVB together. So when you put it under a "normal" household bulb it will show some uW/cmˇ2...

This was discussed a couple of weeks ago. There are huge differences in D3 content between brands. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/why-give-them-vitamin-spikes.147485/

Thanks, but i doubt this would be easy to do :D I am living Hungary, Europe. Anyway he is not the "biggest, strongest" guy that you would select for breeding. He is only about 110g at 16 months old. I think he was always the smallest one in the clutch, we took him as last one from the breeder.

My cham is the opposite... he likes waxworm, BSF larvae, superworms. But doesnt really accept crickets, dubias and locusts. I remember once he spit out a cricket! Shoot it, chew a bit and spit it out :D
