Christmas treats

[jmerrick27]

So it's been two days since Christmas passed, and I was very pleased to be able to celebrate it with my girl Indy (veiled chameleon) and my two leopard geckos, trout and mango sticky rice, so to kick start their day I had given them each 2 horn worms and watching them devour them brought a smile to my face, even though to them it's another day, but that's not the point, our exotic friends also need that extra special day just like our cats and dogs get treats on Christmas day, who else treats their babies extra on certain days?

Of course we need to give our critters some holiday treats! I didn’t have hornworms and I’m waiting for some baby bugs to get big enough, so most got superworms or another appropriate yummy.

Green Grasshoppers, Mantis, and Stick Insects are favorite treats for my chameleons here in my greenhouse. There are other feeders that are relished by chameleons too. The old CIN opinion was that an insect that is the green in colors looks more appetizing to a chameleon. I think the philosophy is that if the insect is naturally more camouflaged the edible and tastier the insect.
