Dubia

[m1les]

How many dubias should I give my 2-3 month old panther chameleon? There a little small than her head and she just ate 4. I'm wondering if thats enough food? She doesn't seem interested in any more.

unlimited supply of food for babys and juvs. once they get older gradually cut down feedings to a few a day or less if its a female then less like 8-12 per week

I think I remember someone saying that one small dubia was equal to 3-4 small crickets.

Did they mean 1 small Dubia was equal to 3-4 crickets in nutrition? Because that info seems kinda strange.

I mean i am pretty sure that I remember reading that Each Dubia is equal to 3-4 crickets in nutrition. From a couple sources

I feel like small Dubias aren’t that much bigger than Small crickets.

I personally feel like you should still offer pretty much an unlimited supply for your cham because I feel like 1 small Dubia is not 3-4 times bigger than 1 small cricket.

its not about size. It's about nutritional value

?? Do you mean that a chameleon only has to eat 4 Dubia instead of 15 crickets of equal size ??? Dubias are more nutritious for sure, but a young cham won’t be FULL from 4 Small Dubias!

 

[Pearl Fields]

Im not understanding

baby chams don't get full lol theyll eat and eat and eat until you stop feeding them.

Ok well still Lol I feel like even Though Dubias are more nutritious then give them the same amount you would crickets. Just so you won’t starve your cham to much
