Nothing like poor comprehension, read through their posts, the hostility is obvious. I never said the information they provided was incorrect, but trying to claim that you need to drop $100 on gutloading is not something you should be forcing on other members.
Nothing like ignoring the facts.
.......the only 'fact' worth disputing is the price............and still nobody told you that you had to buy everything on the list, every time you go out to buy gutload stuff.
Get a grip, mate
I don't know much about the prices in the US, but based on your apparently very poor comprehension of other peoples intentions (who are only offering good advice on gutloading), and your totally unwarranted accusations of misinformation I'm much more inclined to believe Sandra when she says the recipe in dispute cost only $20......
Obviously you have ignored the users posts, read through them and try again.
I simply stated the user claiming it's necessary to use an expensive homemade gutload was incorrect,
Seriously people, get over it, it's just the internet.

I never said their advice was bad, or that proper nutrition was not important, how many times do I have to state that? I simply stated the user claiming it's necessary to use an expensive homemade gutload was incorrect, and that you can gutload with a variety of fruits/veggies and a supplement such as cricket crack or bugburgers, which was based on research and factual evidence found here on the forum.
The only way you're going to get all the items for that recipe for $20 is to steal them.
Seriously people, get over it, it's just the internet.
You're taking gut-loading to the extreme, most members on here rely on fruits/veggies for gutloading and it's more than enough to keep a chameleon healthy. Not true, I certainly don't... Claiming they need to hunt down hard to find ingredients is just going to cause new members to either be turned off on chameleon keeping, or believe it's required and continue to spread misinformation. Claiming you need a huge amount of water is going to put people off buying a pet whale, as it should........it was not misinformation, it was useful information......
I spent the better part of a day searching for these ingredients, and totaled everything out to $78, sure it would be for a years worth of gutload, but using fresh fruits and veggies works just the same. seems worth it to me anyway....
In a previous thread you suggested not to use pre-made gutloads because of the lack of nutrients, but now it's ok to use them?
Remind me of one of those people who would feed beef and rice to their dog becuase they believe dry dog food is unhealthy.If you don't find this last bit offensive then you are not a dedicated Chameleon owner, training to be a vet......as ferretinmyshoes is......
More than enough? Force? Really? or just useful advice? Can you tell the difference, if not then you just need to learn........
This is the point of this forum, to use the knowledge and experience of people like ferret and sandra, and to help new chameleon owners do the best for their pets. I find it surprising that you've been treated with such patience on this thread, but I guess that's because this isn't just the internet, it's about the health of some amazing animals - I just don't understand why you have been so contrary about it......but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and retract my trolling accusation......
