Baby veiled chameleon food and supplement...

[Cjd713]

So i'm getting a baby veiled this week, and I'm going to be feeding him small crickets and flightless fruitflies dusted with Rep-cal with d3, and the occasional waxworm. How often should I dust them with this, and how often should I take him out in the sun? Is this a good diet? Thanks!

You shouldn't dust him with d3 so often.
Try to look this up in forums, this topic has been discussed for milion times already!

Dust with repcal with no D3 every feeding and about once or twice a month with D3. You should have proper lighting to provide the D3 he needs. It's very difficult to get him just the right amount through supplementation alone. It's very easy to OD him or under dose. Either one, too much or too little can be detrimental to his health.
