She would show her gravid colors and also nearing laying time she would be at the bottom of the cage looking for a place to dig a hole to lay her eggs. The age listed tells me she is now an adult is most likely being protective of her space.
Many of the replies here are good, it might also be her age as well... They grow up and decide to get more protective of their space as adults... Many I know simmer down after some time with consistent handling (but not too much). Also, they take a minute to get used to change (you said you've...
I'm assuming that is 5000 in a week? I do plan to breed crickets and start that a few months prior to their arrival and dubias for when they are older as I like them better. I might do the flightless fruit flies. I will see.
Ah yes, the lengthy process. I'm at the stage in researching where it's mainly about dealing with so many babies and rehoming them. I don't want to skimp on their care or rush them into homes ignorantly.
I definitely feel like I would enjoy it and that's what will make it doable. I've been putting thought into it for about 2 years so I'm not taking it lightly and it most likely will be another 6 months before I find the right chameleon parents. Right now I'm just researching and researching some...
I definitely have space and I already have a list of materials to make my own cages. I want the babies separate so I can monitor them. I want to breed dubias and crickets for their food source. Right now I'm just looking for the perfect PCs. I'm being patient right now with it all.
Hamsters are cute but I don't think I'd ever want one. Rodents aren't my big point. Not that I don't like rodents or anything - I had pet rats as a kid and loved em... super smart.
I haven't had to deal with babies yes as this is why I made the thread. How small are the babies? Are they small enough to feed to baby chameleons? For some reason I thought people only fed the flightless fruit flies and pinheads. I can see this being a problem, separating like you said. I've...
ah, see I have a shop vac and I use it for similar purposes but I never thought about using it to clean bug waste! I have been tipping the dubia bin so everything goes to one side and then I chase/ scare the healthy dubias onto the other side and then scoop them up and put them in temporary bin...
So, I've had a wonderful umbrella plant in my cage before I moved. I got rid of the plant as it would have been difficult to make the trip with us and I spent most of my excess energy making sure my pets were taken care of during the move and not some plant. Anyway, after getting out here and...
