Hi everybody! New to the chameleon family but I have had many reptiles and animals all my life and love my chameleon that I just got last week!
She is a jacksons chameleon, pretty sure female, and only 2 months old!!
In a mesh cage where I am setting up a homemade drip system today but been misting 3-4 times a day and feeding fruit flies. I have seen this question a lot but not necessarily describing my chameleon completely. I bought calcium + d3 and then a multivitamin; both in the powder form. I dusted her fruit flies twice with the calcium this week. I was worried that she wasn't eating the flies because every time I'd stick them in there this week, I would go back a couple minutes later and some would be on the bottom. Then, thankfully, I noticed last night, and I just sat and watched her after I put the flies in the cage, that she was eating some.
My questions are, how often should I be feeding this size and type of chameleon the calcium + d3? the multivitamin?
Is there any other food you suggest that are small enough that she can have at this age and size, that might be easier to eat (and yes I know it has to be food that is smaller than the gap between her eyes) ? I did read something about 1/2" crickets, so I will check them out today and their size!
Thanks!
