Extra Calcium/Pooping?/Feeding. HELP

[kelsxox]

Umm soo my chameleon has MBD, i'm treating her right now with T-Rex Bone Aid Emmergency Calcium.. plus dusting her crickets with a little bit of calcium without d3 everyday.. Could this cause constipation like it does for humans? It took her two days too poop.. Just before i wrote this i saw her for the first time pooping, kinda strangee lol i was showing her to my sister in law then all of a sudden starts peeing and pooping..

- But yeah, can anyone give me some advice? My Chameleons A vielded female, around 6-8 months. (She got the MBD from the pet store she was at not taking care of her properly & i didn't find out till i got her. ) ..

Also i wanted to know, how many times a week i should be feeding her & how many? Cause i see some people feed there chams one crickets every couple of days? I feed her 5-8 crickets a day depending on their size, less if large, more if small. & i dust them with a low phosphorus calcium everyday, calcium with d3 without phosphorus every 2 weeks, and multi vitamins with beta carotene every 2 weeks.

HEELP , please answer my questions so i'm not so confused.

MBD can cause constipation...don't know if the calcium would or not.

Hi there i have a male veiled and am new to owning chams too but mine is abut 7 months old and he eats medium sized crickets and he eats about ten a day and i treat him with meal worms and wax worms i havent tried super worms yet.... but i have found that i put about ten in there and sometimes he will just leave them alone and when he gets hungry he will get them but they are always gone within a few hours....i personally dont think they over eat if they dont want them they will let them be
Oh and mine doesnt always go every single day sometimes he skips a day

kelsxox...the amount you are feeding seems reasonable.

Ok thanks alot kinyonga! , do you have any idea when i should start lowering her diet? at a specific age or soo?..cause i know alot of people lower their diet alot as their chams get older.. Also, I'm still trying to get as prepared as i can for when she begins to lay eggs so i'm not so freaked out lol.
