Grass inside a Cage?

[Leroux2008]

idk I might try some moss..... I figured it would be hard to get it to thrive in a screen cage compared to an aquarium tank..... I know it needs to be pretty humid and moist for it.

well mine thrives just the same screen vs terrarium so I dont know.

 

[Leroux2008]

well that def gives me more assurance... I might get me some next paycheck

I was just recently reading about someone using grass to deal with some of the water in the cage... I'd quite fancy trying moss myself, although it sounds like they have a tendency to dry out! Then again, with all the misting it would get...

I never bought moss so its hard to say. I got to local streams,neighbors yard, outskirts of cornfields, brick walls ect. I do sift for little bugs or critters. If I do see some small critters Ill look for a clean piece.

I'm intrigued by this. I grow wheat grass for the guinea pigs. I'd never thought of putting some in with the chameleon. I may give this a try.

You can buy wheat berries for almost nothing at "healthy" stores (here, I go to Henry's). It takes a couple of days of soaking and rinsing to get them to sprout, but once they do, put them in soil and they take off pretty fast.

I am having a lot of luck using an IV bag with a drip set also, I work at a vets office. I am sure if you go into your vet and ask they would have an empty bag, you will probably have to pay for the line, but shouldn't be more than a couple bucks.
