diet feeders for fat chameleons

[salty dog]

any ideas...lol....

What is the species and gender and of your chameleon, and how much are you feeding?

My females are always ravenous. I obviously don't feed them as much as they want because of reproductive obesity issues, I do occasionally give them bean beetles. They aren't low cal but they are tiny so 6-8 of them keep them busier longer than one dubia nymph. It's really more enrichment than diet food.
I'm sure you are avoiding things like wax worms and other fatty feeders.

Hey @jamest0o0, here is your opening. Start up a line of diet feeders?

 

[kinyonga]

What species @salty dog ?
Panthers or all?

I'm not sure you'd have to feed them "diet feeders" unless their diet is heavy on wax worms, supers, etc.—just fewer, smaller, or less often.

It's worked with every pet we've ever had... wish it worked with me.

 

[Fchamel]

I would reduce the amount that you are feeding. And stop feeding feeders with high fat for the minute.

You could try smaller things that move around a lot; my female loves zooming around to tag fruit flies and newly hatched mantis ? They're small enough that 10-15 don't count for much, if anything
