HOw deep should a feeding cup be also how many crickets should a 3-4 month old eat.
As 4 supplements I have Exo-terra calcium////zoo-med repti calcium with d3///////zoo-med reptivite with d3 can anybody tell me the best brand to give him
O/N just got him yesterday , when he was basking he had his mouth open but at his basking spot it said 86

Supplement with calcium without d3 at almost every feeding. Supplement with d3 and the multivitamin twice a month.

You can use a small solo cup for feeders. He should eat anywhere from 10-20 crickets a day depending on appetite

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new little one

Babies should be allowed to eat as many small feeders they can get their tongues on within a 10 - 15 minute time frame, a couple times a day. Depending on the size of the feeders, this can amount in about 15 - 20 a day in an acclimated and healthy little one. If he eats less initially, I wouldn't worry, it might be due to the recent move and new environment. Give him a couple days to get used to his new digs The supplements you have are good - gutloading crickets with fruit, veggies, and greens are also a good way to get vitamins into your cham. You'll want to use plain calcium (no d3) at every feeding, and a calcium with d3 and a multivitamin every couple weeks.

Your basking spot seems high, and the mouth gaping is your chams way of telling you it's too warm. It'd turn it down a few degrees, and make sure your cham has one side of the cage where he can go to escape the heat. Extra foliage and ample branches for him to climb on and hide in will ensure that he can thermoregulate properly.

What type of enclosure do you have him in, if you don't mind me asking? Do you have any pictures of the little guy?

86 isn't really all that high but you do need to make sure that it is cooler in other parts of your cage so your Cham can thermoregulate
