can I introduce calcium through the water?

[mtr87]

I am having a little problem trying to give my chameleon her daily dosis of calcium. I do sprinkle the worms with it but I still dont think that she eats them right away... is it possible to mix some water with the calcium and spray it in the cage?

It wont do very much good at all plus it will QUICKLY calcify whatever you are using to spray and it would be a waste of money... Just lightly dust her feeders and don't "ghost" them and she'll be fine

Are you just feeding worms? you gotta feed crickets, roaches, and many other safe insects. Most worms dont have enough nutritional value.

make sure you gutload all of your feeders, otherwise your cham will have maany health problems from lack of nutrition

What exactly do you feed everyday? have you filled out the how to ask for help form? if so, you may want to do that, cuz if you were only feeding worms, there may be other things regarding your husbandry that we can provide informaiton on to make sure you are happy and your cham is healthy.
