Feeder Size

[kokom05lb]

I watched my little girl Angel cup feed this morning and notcied that she was eating 3 crickets at once . They are half size so is this a sign to go to the next size? My little boy Ringo is doing the same thing now as well. If so how many a day?

Also think I might have convinced my husband to let me get roaches on July 1st. So What size should I get with them?

How old and wat kind of chameleon? Usually if they eat 3 at once its time to move up . Also wat kind of.roaches? dubias run big so start with a smaller count of medium to start. If hes eaing 3 medium crickets at once, eaquals 1 1/2 large which is roughly one medium dubia. soo wat kind of cham and how old in order to tell u how much a day.. roughly.. and weither u should skip a day or not

They are both veileds and both in between 5-6 months. https://www.chameleonforums.com/remaking-custom-cages-85628/ those are the most recent pics of the 2 taken yesterday.

Females should always eat 25% less more than males. To help with not producing eggs so often...
My male veiled of the same age eats 10-14 large crickets a day. Sometimes less sometimes he wants more!.. around 7-8 months he will slow himself down to probably same number every other day.. eventually about 6-10 every other day

I think your guys could move up to large crickets. Wherever you get your supplies you could also ask them what they think too. I'm not sure how much but my male is a year and he eats as much as 30 large. So start of with like 5-8 with your female and 10-20 with your male (see how much he'll eat). My guy also eats full-grown adult dubias (about 2 inches long). Your guys could probably eat mid to large-sized nymphs. Breeding is a good option because you would have such a big selection.

Another question

Since I'm only limited $30 on the first I was thinking of doing http://www.theroachcafe.com/http:/www.theroachcafe.com/dubia-small/ mainly because IDK if my 2 will eat them. Then pick up 300 crickets so I could use the crickets as a backup just in case. Good idea or should I just pray and hope Angel and Ringo will eat them and buy 500?

Also my little girl showed interest in carrots today. If I cut her up some how small should I cut them up?? TIA

Well, you can buy a few to try out or you can just set up a colony right away. Even if they end up disliking them and you can't get them to eat them (I doubt it though) you can let the roaches breed for a while and then sell the colony to make the money back plus more.
