My Chameleon is a Juvenile, and my mom got these for me cause she doesn’t want actual insects unless you need need them. I’m trying to convince her otherwise. But until then are these safe for them to eat and should I still sprinkling calcium powder on them?
 
They need live insects. No questions. Either convince her or rehome your chameleon, they wont eat pellets. They need the movement of live insects.

If you even thought this was okay i'm assuming you need your husbandry reviewed (excuse my blunt tone, its just the truth hun) . Fill this out please! :

  2. Photos can be very helpful.
edit-- Do you even have your chameleon yet? I just Read through your first thread.. apparently not im assuming? At least you've got time to convince your mom. If you are getting him/her soon I hope you have already started on their enclosure?

Thanks for the information, I was asking before I actually came into ownership on the chameleon I’m going to get. Just double checking on everything. Appreciate the help!
 
Haha yes I just saw your other thread! You could still fill out the cage part-- unless you haven't set up the cage yet? when do you plan on buying your little friend?
