That is not a good feeder to recommend as some chameleons have been known to have allergic reactions to them.


Black soldier fly larvae does not need to be dusted, but it is best to have a variety of feeders. How long will it be before the supplements come?

Super worms are more of a treat so don’t feed them Aton here’s a helpful photo of bugs that they can eat

Any of these will be good if I gut load them without dusting?

I'm just so worried it's my first cham and I want to do everything right.

Yup I understand I love my chameleon the same way. I think you will be fine until they get there.

I think waiting until tomorrow is fine. If you wouldn’t be getting your supplements for weeks or longer, then that would be a problem. Regardless of supplements, you’ll need to feed your chameleon a variety of primarily staple feeders with just occasional treat ones.

Can horn worms be a normal feeder or no? He really seemed to like them the first day we brought him home. The one that comes tomorrow is the d3 multi vitamin one.

Yes and no. You can give them on a somewhat regular basis, but only like 1 per feeding and then the rest will need to be staple feeders, like roaches, crickets, silkworms, etc.

How much do you recommend I feed him I've heard they can just keep eating and not get full. I felt like he wanted me to keep giving him more and more worms today lol.

That is so very true! They can very easily become obese. I feed all of my adult chameleons about 4 feeders, 3 days a week, plus occasional treats.

The D3 multivitamin supplement you only want to use twice a month like the 1st and the 15 th. You need the phosphorus free calcium without D3 to lightly dust your insects every time you feed him except on the days you give the multivitamins with D3. I hope that I made sense there.

Is this a good daily calcium to use untill I get my rapashy daily calcium?

 

[Lindasjackson]
