.. Everything I've seen on them says that they're omnivores unlike a lot of other cham species.. I know some people even give their veileds "salads" daily. It even says on the care sheet on this website
How do y'all get your veiled chameleons to eat vegetables?? I have an 8 month old male veiled chameleon and I know they eat bugs as well as veggies but he's not interested in any vegetables I offer him. I've seen bites taken out of his live plants I have in his cage but that's it. I've tried a...
Thank you! Still got some work to do. He can be pretty skittish and shy but he seems to be improving every day and I'm so glad to care for such an awesome little dude!
Update on baby Gideon cause why not! He just started eating out of a cup today! I have a makeshift cricket bowl and he finally decided he wanted to use it and I'm so happy! Hopefully now it won't be as hard to track how much he's eating. Also I've started to work with him on handling and he...
Lol that's so cute. I just love how each individual Cham has their own personality. My Gideon is pretty shy rn. He even runs away if a cricket is too big lol. I hope to start working with him on hand feeding in a week or so and hopefully transition that into handling. He has been coming up to...
Lmao that's awesome. Orion is his name? That's adorable! I named mine Gideon. He ate all his crickets today and he's been going up and down all the Vines and stems and whatnots now! I'm so happy. Is it weird to feel proud of him? Cause I do lol
Oh that's awesome lol. And yeah you're definitely a big reason my husbandry and set up are good! My user should just be Lauren Williams. I'll be sure to hit the bell and stay up to date on your videos (even tho I've watched them so much you're always in my recommended lol)! Can't wait to watch...
Wait a sec.. these are YOUR VIDS?? lol I watch your YouTube channel all the time!! You're actually the one I've gone to for advice in your videos like all the time! I'm subscribed lol. You've actually helped me in the past when I was getting supplements and I asked in your comments what...
Absolutely! I want to learn as much as I can and who knows, if things go well I'm might get another in the future lol. I'd love a translucent!
Oh! I do have one more question if you don't mind,, how often should they be shedding around this age? I couldn't find anything specific on that and...
I was actually planning on getting one soon! I really want him to have the best life and be as happy and healthy as possible. My original plan was to get a yellow body blue bar amilobe panther chameleon (and a juvenile at that) but then I decided a veiled might be something to look into and I...
Thank you for the supplement advice! I'll definitely look into the ratios and figure out what works. Also I did check and it is a T5 uvb that I have so I'm glad to hear that was a good choice. As far as gender, he has tarsal spurs and I made sure to check when I unboxed him. I do realize he's...
I gut load with things like sweet potatoes, apples, oranges, mustard greens, kale, and carrots.
I don't supplement on Sundays cause I've read plenty of things about over supplementing and the schedule I use is one that was recommended by a friend that raised chams.
The misting system I use at...
Okay thank you! He's been eating and this morning he ate 3 crickets which is one more than yesterday. He's staying hydrated and his urate is nice and white (not to be gross lol) thank you for the help :) if things don't Improve after he sheds (if that is the case) then I'll move him to a smaller...
so you've kept baby chams before? Do they tend to lose their appetite when shedding? He's been developing little white dots (like skin patches) around his face and feet. I believe he is about to start shedding from what I've read and researched. I just wanna be sure hes heathy and I can get...
